Love this location! Lots of parking, spacious and the staff was very accommodating. We celebrated a birthday and they made everything extra special including a personalized greeting on the printed menu, a nice photo to commemorate the special day and a birthday dessert. I also wanted to thank the kitchen and wait staff for accommodating a nut allergy. Reservations were super easy and the hostess seated us right away. And the food? Topnotch of course. Our waitress' recommendations were spot on. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
