    I was there on Friday night for a birthday dinner of 14 people, unknowingly the same restaurant I made reservations for a Saturday brunch. The food and service were excellent Friday night. Came back Saturday for a birthday brunch of five people. Sonia, our server, was amazing, and Kyle, the manager, was very accommodating! Great restaurant, atmosphere, service, and food! 👍🏽

    Filet mignon is always perfect, fries and creamed spinach w a wedge salad to start is a tasty go to. Finish it w coffee and bread pudding. There’s about a hundred combos I love. Lobster thermidor and sand dabs crush as a main course as well.

    Madison was an amazing host. Her customer service and hospitality was top tier! Manager was also very kind enough to make accommodations for my autistic son. All servers were great as well but Madison’s kindness stood out the most. The food and drinks were also very good. I had a French 75 for the first time and it was enjoyable. I don’t usually drink gin because of the taste, but you can barely taste it.
