Beautiful new restaurant! Our server was excellent and well versed on the menu. After our meal we enjoyed a couple of cocktails on the patio around their fire pit and took in the view by the pool. We’ll definitely be returning!

Sat at the bar on Christmas Day and had a great experience! Melissa was our bartender and she was slammed! They were one of the few restaurants open on Christmas Day so it was packed AND during the chiefs game. She did an amazing job keeping our drinks full and was super friendly the entire time!
