    We always have a great time here. It’s not close to home but always makes us feel like we are with friends when we have lunch or dinner. This was our first time dining outside on the second floor. Absolutely amazing with great weather and service. Can’t wait to go back.

    So, this was the first time trying out this restaurant my husband & I were very comfortable, except they put us at a tiny table when they had almost the WHOLE restaurant free and empty; I say this mostly cause my husband is tall & and would obviously be more comfortable at a larger table with more leg room! Overall, it is going to be a terrific place when they work out the bugs! But that was the first thing I noticed! On the plus side, They have a nice a happy hour with appetizers and drinks, And athe most wonderful and beautiful ambiance! Our waitress, Becca, was awesome, and, as empty As empty as it was, Yes, she should have come by just at least one more time, and only stayed away too long just one time! I'm going to give this one more try at brunch/ breakfast and try that out! One bonus is they have what looks like a room you could ask for for a larger party that is very private!
