Incredible experience. All the staff, especially our waiter, was attentive and helpful. The environment was great...we could actually carry on conversation at our table easily. The food was top notch from the appetizers to the main entrees to the sides and dessert. Even the parking was easy. Highly recommend coming here.

We chose this restaurant for our 35th Wedding Anniversary and we were not disappointed. The food is always excellent. The atmosphere was perfect; we could carry on a conversation between the two of us easily. Our waiter, Patraic, was very attentive. Had a wonderful evening!

Great food. Service was only "ok." My waiter wasn't terribly focused. I asked for no ice in my water, but kept getting ice. I asked for limes, but the limes that were brought to me were old and dried out. I asked for a to-go box for the bread, but waiter never brought it. 😒
