This place is amazing! The hostess, Delaney, is what made our night. I’m currently disabled and she went out of her way to accommodate my needs from the very beginning all the way until the end of our dinner. I had to use the restroom and she personally walked me all the way back to the restroom and held the door for me! The food was incredible, our server was extremely attentive, and the food came out fast. I’ll definitely come back. Thanks Delaney! We will definitely come back :)
