    We came here for a special girls’ night, and we had a fabulous time. The food was absolutely amazing—every dish was beautifully presented and delicious! What really made the night extra special was our waiter, Nic. He was so attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations that made our meal even better. He made us feel welcome and made sure everything was just right the entire evening. The ambiance was perfect for catching up with friends—warm, lively, and inviting. We’ll definitely be back, and we’re already talking about our next visit. Highly recommend this place for a night out with great food and even better service!

    Experience was outstanding. It was decorated and very festive for the Christmas season. They have a big tree inside and the owner personally took the pics in front. Amanda was awesome and really took good care of us. Food was cooked perfectly and delicious. Definitely suggest for the season.

    It was a very nice meal. A bit overly fastidious, but everything was quite good and they care that it is quite good — strongly recommend the lobster mac and cheese. It got me a second date, so maybe you will be so lucky.
