    Great food and excellent service! Nice variety of options. Very good wine list. Portions are generous without being too much. We live out of town but have come here several times over the span of 5 years or more and our experience has been consistently good.

    The food was very good & our server Tara was great. Our table was wobbly when we first sat down & when I mentioned it to her she fixed it immediately. We were able to order quickly and the food came out fairly fast. The noise issue was that the table next to us was extremely loud and it drowned out everything else. It was crowded & you certainly expect some noise, however, this family was louder than expected & it made it difficult for my husband & I to talk to each other. The tables are very close in proximity.
