She greeted us as soon as we walked in and took care of our table the whole time, treating us as if we were the only people in the restaurant. She went above and beyond. We loved the menu options, creative cocktails, and elevated options for kids.

Food was bland and not impressive. The atmosphere is great but it seems like they are lacking in the most important part of a restaurant.

What was not so amazing was the host who did not look up once from her cell phone to greet me or seat me; thankfully, my friend saw me after about three minutes and grabbed me. It was an extremely busy night,  however she was on her own personal cell phone. Our server was very kind, however, we seem to get forgotten as our meal progressed. She never offered us dessert, just brought us our bill.  I’ve had better experiences here and will continue to come, I’ll chalk it up to a bad night.
