Caroline was amazing. I will ask to sit in her section every time. Food was great, as always! This was the first time I noticed music playing, not sure if it was because I was closer to the speaker or it was louder.

We had to wait longer than expected to be seated, but the staff went above and beyond by trying to make up for it, even having a free appetizer at the table waiting on us. The food was wonderful and the drinks were delicious.
