It was a lovely experience. Even in the slightly chilly evening, the outdoor tables were very nice and the heaters kept it warm. I thought the menu was really good and had choices for everyone. Service was wonderful. Sara did a wonderful job.

In short, this was our first experience here and it was simply perfect. My wife was having her birthday with family and everyone loved it. Steak, pasta, fish, bread and bone marrow were perfect. Drinks were spot on and wine was something we’re going to look for. Daxton was the best and highly attentive. We recommend this place with 5 stars!

The place was very loud for a sit-down restaurant, but Angela, our server, was excellent. The taco appetizer, salmon, and jambalaya were delicious, but the french dip sandwich was bland. Overall, I would recommend dining hear.
