    Darcy was our waitress, friendly, attentive, professional, and overall a real pleasure. The owner swung by and chatted. Even had a chef step out to take a group picture so we could all be in it. Overall, the whole vibe of the place is very comforting and inviting. Food was very good, though a couple dishes were a little on the bland side. Still good, but could’ve used a little sauce or seasoning. But overall, everybody was really pleased with their dinner, and we just loved how welcoming it felt to eat there. Highly recommend.

    We had an amazing dinner for our anniversary. I forget our server's name (possibly George or something that starts with a J?) but he truly loved what he did and it showed. We split the Vlach Giorti and enjoyed every option on the platter. Definitely make a reservation and expect a possible delay just incase
