    Restaurant was very loud. A lot of crying kids. It was difficult to hear the conversation at our table. Busser kept trying to take our plates away and we were not finished. Beautiful view.

    Hello. I'm sorry to hear we missed the mark during your experience. We are a very high volume restaurant which does unfortunately create quite an energetic environment. We will evaluate with our bussers to ensure they understand appropriate clearing of tables so that your next experience with us is top notch!

    The charcuterie board was GREAT and had lots of flavor, the bacon and pita bread was fantastic! Our entrees however weren’t great. We had the chicken club sandwich and smothered chicken, the chicken was bland and a little dry. The sides were good though! We had the Parmesan fries, fresh garlic green beans, mashed potatoes, and the angry Mac n cheese, all were fresh and tasted great.
