Our server, Michelle, was great! She was attentive, kind and, most importantly, was so sweet to our 4 year old daughter! She even remembered her name when we said goodbye at the end of our visit. The food was also great and, one of the managers stopped by to let us know the status of our entrees (even though it didn’t seem like we were waiting long). Overall, it was a great night out!

The server never offered me a second cocktail, and one of the managers was expediting the food, so when dinner arrived way before I had the time to finish my salad, he could see my displeasure, but I did not want him to take my dinner back. In many cases, the manager apologizes, and that’s it, so I did not really complain, and to my surprise, 5 minutes later, he walked over and apologized again and comped my salad. This unexpected attempt to maintain a pleasant customer experience was greatly appreciated and… thus, overall- outstanding!
