My server was pretty nervous, I think he was new. The bar was painfully slow getting drinks out to our table. Otherwise, the food was excellent, as always, and the price affordable. A nice restaurant.

The wait staff was amazing. Our server was attentive and very accommodating. The restaurant was wonderfully decorated in colonial decor and was clean and inviting. The food was absolutely delicious but the portion sizes were a bit small for the price. Overall we were very pleased with our dining experience.

Hosts did not greet me. It took over 15 min to get a server to greet us and take our drink order. The deal for the food was decent. Service got better throughout the night.
