    We had a wonderful dinner here last night. From the moment you walk in, the restaurant has wonderful ambiance that’s very inviting and intimate with curtains separating the tables. Our waitress Monica was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive! The food was incredible, all 4 of us got different entrees-all equally delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone

    Very welcoming as soon as you walk in. Great atmosphere over all. Our server Carson was top notch and very friendly and playful , he gave us a great experience. Servers besides him brining our food/ appetizers were also insanely nice. Food was DELICIOUS and I’m not a pizzeria kind of person. The dessert was one of the best I’ve ever had and my boyfriend and I will be making this place our regular spot. 100/10 definitely recommend. Big shout out to Rudy for recommending this place to me.
