    From the time we entered the front door until we departed, we experienced best in class service. The host sat us promptly, the waiter was quick to let us know what was new on the menu, and the servers brought out beautifully plated dishes. All with wide smiles. As for the food…5 star. Little gem salad dressing was incredible, and the Pork Chop was killer. All the above is consistent every time we have been here.

    We came here for an early dinner. The place was nice and quiet as it was between lunch and dinner (our favorite time to dine). Our waiter, Stephen, was excellent. The food was very good as was the wine. We will be back soon.
