    Wife and I went to celebrate Valentine’s Day and had a wonderful time. Our server came by regularly to check on us and also gave us plenty of time to enjoy our evening, we didn’t feel rushed at all and look forward to coming back soon. The menu has plenty of options to choose from.

    Amazing service with wonderful tasty dishes. I got the “half chicken” and my partner had the “steak”. All I have to say was the portions were pretty huge and very delicious. Definitely would come back and recommend everyone to give it a try.
