    The atmosphere, eating outside in the courtyard is great and food was very good, but the server took a long time to come back after bringing the food to check if everything was good. Then, after bringing coffee with the desert, she informed us that there was no creamer, cream, or milk available to go with the coffee. My wife doesn't drink black coffee, so she sent the coffee back. If we had known about the lack of creamer, we might not have ordered desert.

    The food was excellent. The server was knowledgeable on all menu items in the outdoor patio setting was perfect with a nice breeze on a warm day.

    We had guests arrive an hour and a half late which disrupted our meal and we never got back on track. I think that is what caused our service to be less than expected.
