Ambience is great. Service was very professional. Food Wonderful! I had Lamb Chops and they were fabulous. Our reservation was for 2 but turned out family members who live in the area popped in to just have a drink which turned out to be dinner. The restaurant fit us into a tight booth which we were grateful to get. After all they were full and had no idea extra people would be coming. ( Nor did we ) We all had a great time. No drama on part of the restaurant. We appreciate their consideration. We will go back for sure.
