We were there celebrate our daughter’s graduation- the staff could not have been more attentive. I was surprised to learn a few of them were recent hires. They had a great understanding of the wine list when we had questions. The food was amazing. We keep going back as the food is always of a high standard with a great and varied wine list plus very attentive and personable staff!
