    This is one of my favorite spots in North County. They were experiencing some issues with over booking, and they more than made up for the inconvenience. Their staff and customer service are top notch! The new menu was amazing too!! Plus they always have great music.

    Food was delicious and service was very good, despite being quite slow. It’s a good place to go when you have plenty of time to enjoy your food and the company of your party. It’s a little on the pricey side. Ambience is nice and they have multiple space heaters on the patio.
