Great food. Amazing flavors and dishes. Reasonably priced. Went for lunch. Only issue was there was no hostess to seat us. We stood around for 5-10 minutes waiting for someone to acknowledge us. It was a lunch 12pm seating. Maybe they had just opened

We had a great family dinner as usual. Sam was delightful, professional, and real. We enjoyed our conversations with her and she is an asset to your company. Our server was extraordinary (sadly I do not remember his name because I did not catch it) but he is from Texas, tall, blonde, clean-cut, and has earrings. He was phenomenal!! Professional, friendly, and a great listener. We would love to have him again as our server when we go back. He is also an asset to your company; the best server we've had there. He and Sam should be commended for their outstanding professionalism!
