    First time eating at this restaurant and enjoyed the food. They have an indoor and an outdoor seating arrangement but one thing which was a little odd is that the door is wide open to the outside and on a day when the temperatures are approaching 100° it is so warm inside the restaurant. They have fans inside to try to move the air, but The climate was not that comfortable inside. Also, with the door open allows for a lot of flies to be in the building.

    Food and spot are great. Unfortunately our waitress disappeared for long periods of time and barely checked on her tables.

    Food was really good but kitchen must have been having a bad night. Waited over 45 minutes for food then apps and entrees came out together. I’d give it another try and hopefully it runs smoothly next time.

    The place was nice. Good food, reasonable prices and friendly staff. However, they had removed most of the tables since there was a live music event so the open table reservation was useless. We had to sit at the bar.
