    Our server, Jessica, gave us the best service we have ever had at a restaurant. I requested champagne on the table when i made the reservation and noted that we were celebrating our elopement on Valentine’s Day. Not only was there a bottle of champagne but roses as well! The moment we walked in and gave our name we were congratulated by EVERY staff member. They made the whole evening so special for us all during a very busy dinner rush. The live music and atmosphere was perfect for a date night and the Valentine’s Day speciality cocktails added to the experience. 10/10. Will be returning again
