    First I would like to say the restaurant experience there was amazing. I meet Ms. Jane in the restroom who is one of the owners and she was super sweet. The food was amazing the customer service was over the top. I loved the hot towels before your food arrives and my waiter was amazing. Her accent made the visit so much more pleasant. Ms. Jane and the gentleman with her I can’t recall his name but they bought us desert to the table and it was the bomb. This is a little hidden gem restaurant for me because I hear about it but never go. Oh my apple martini was made with love. The smashed potato’s was whipped and full of butter, the spinach was seasoned so good didn’t even need no salt or pepper. We all had the 16oz ribeye that was worth every penny. The cutest thing is the fact they had a 3oz filet mignon for kids that was the perfect size for kids who eat steak. I can’t say enough how pleased we were after leaving. Oh one more thing the chicken strips was fried to perfection and so good. A adult can eat on them and get super full. Definitely 10/10 recommend!!!!If you have not been there I am telling you RUUNNNN!!!

    EVERYTHING about this restaurant was exquisite. The ambience was romantic and friendly and just beautiful. The staff from the time we walked in until the time we left were attentive. We were seated quickly and the wait staff was there immediately. Kristin was our waitress she is incredibly knowledgeable of the menu and the specials. Gave us recommendations based on her own experience that’s so important, so many restaurants have wait staff that has never tasted the food. THE FOOD!!! The food was literally the best we have had in our life. Truly impeccable. We will be back!!!!
