    First time here. I took my mom for her birthday. The waiter we had was so nice and attentive. Food and drinks were great. We had the spinach and artichoke dip for starters with pita chips and it was so good. We also had the peach boozy drinks they were really good but a little bit too sweet for my liking. For our meal my mom got the boom boom shrimp and Brussel sprouts she said it was really good. I got the Sea bass that was so delicious. It came with a salad and their house dressing was amazing. After tasting my mom’s Brussels sprouts I had to get me some. Overall I will definitely be back I want to try their brunch menu.

    Absolutely outstanding food and service. Had French Onion Soup. Good. What would make it outstanding? Probably personal preference but we like a darker richer broth. Had Caesar Salad. Outstanding. Finally, someone using a delicious dressing and the proper cheese. Had the small plate beef tips. Yum. Then chicken tenders and French fries. Too good to leave behind. Coffee was strong just like we like it and it was actually hot like we like it even after we put our cream in. Appreciate the noise level was perfect so we could have a conversation. Will definitely return.
