Food was excellent. Service was great. We were a group of 8. The check did include a 20% gratuity. The server did tell me when I asked him to bring me the check. I appreciated him telling me.

The experience was overall positive. The hostess was also the waitress. When it did get busy, they were having to multitask. However was aware of the wait and made a point to apologize. We accepted and understood. Chef delivered food and stated they were short staffed at the time. Food was great and the dessert( bread pudding) was the best i ever had 👍🏾
