Great dining experience. Elizabeth, our server, was congenial and very competent. Our food and drink order was taken quickly and a special request for dietary needs was honored. Our food was delicious and presented beautifully. The entire staff, from a welcome greeting at the door, to the helpful valet service as we left, was so appreciated.

Everything was amazing, the service, the food was delicious and the restaurant is fun and well decorated. My only suggestion is that the live music start a little later. The musician was very good, but the music was too loud, our reservation was at 6:15pm
