Excellent food and customer service. Highly recommend this place. It feels bit noisy if you are looking for quieter place. Ask for table away from center.

Great food, great music, great people. Had a lovely time, called ahead of time with Amanda and she set us up with Jordan to surprise us with our 4-course meal for the day. Definitely recommend it if you are unsure of what to get. Not my first time here, but after today, definitely felt that a review was needed. Thank you everyone!
