It was a great experience as always. Bar server was attentive and friendly. Jeff was our server for dinner and he was perfect! Just the right amount of attention. There when you needed him but not in your face every moment. The food was amazing. It is ALWAYS amazing and last night was no different. Cannot say enough good things about this place. It is amongst our top 3 go to spots when we want it to be perfect. Often bring out if town guests because we know it will be so good.

This was our first time visiting and we’ll definitely be back. Food was excellent and service was outstanding. We celebrated my wife’s birthday and our friends brought a cake which our server offered to slice it up and served it to us. We all had an exceptional dining experience.
