The waitress who served us absolutely made our experience. I’m not sure if her name but I think she was French. She was kind, friendly and very welcoming. The food was delicious and it was great value to get in with the happy hour cocktails! Opting for the courtyard out front isn’t something I usually do but considering it had been a 30 degree day, it was a balmy night so it was lovely. Overall, great experience!
