The ambience and the service was amazing. The food was excellent and delicious dessert was delicious. Drinks were even better.. We appreciate Jason Johnson and Titus Turner came to our table after a very noisy loud couple sat behind us.. They were moved to a different area of the restaurant outside and that was much appreciated. As my friend had just lost her husband and she just needed some quiet dinner time. We really appreciate the attention they both provided for us. We definitely plan to return again very soon. Thank you so much for a great dining experience . AA PLUS. Kindly, Teresa S
