Brought group from retirement community. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. Our wait staff was friendly and attentive. The Hostess helped with the 2 walkers we had right off the bat. Very positive and satisfying experience! Thank you!

My only complaint is the fact that the woman seating people claimed I did not have a reservation. I took out my phone and showed her the reservation and miraculously she found my reservation.
