The desserts were also delicious,cheesecake,chocolate lava cake and an apple upside down cake.

Our table was not ready when we arrived but there were empty tables, so I was not sure if there were tables reserved just for Open Table. Our server had too many tables and it felt like she could not keep up with all the tables. A table right across from us who were seated after our table, received service and drinks and order taken before us. The restaurant was super loud. So loud it was challenging to have a conversation at our table. The food was excellent. I was disappointed and it would make me think twice before returning.

I have Celiac disease and eating out is not always the best, but i was so pleased and surprised with how easy it was for me to be accommodated, our server was absolutely amazing and so sweet with asking questions that made me feel comfortable eating from their kitchen, not to mention the gluten free Lava cake... INSANE! 10/10 experience and will be returning!

The only drawback was that even on a 37 degree day, outside seating was open and my friend was in a draft from wait staff going in and out.
