My fiance wanted shrimp scampi to go with his steak, we spoke Lena and she was able to ask the chef to make it and he did. The waitress was great, her customer service was amazing!!!! We will definitely be back there! Thank you Lena and everyone for making our dinner a great experience!

    Our first time here and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We sat at the bar outside and enjoyed a delicious cocktail, the bar tenders were outstanding. We sat outside and enjoyed the Irish musicians. The food was delicious - slow roasted pork, beef short ribs, shepherd’s pie and chicken pie - all done to perfection. The waitstaff were attentive and friendly. We had a great night. Will be back again!

    Last night my wife and I went here for dinner. Our server was Tyana and she was absolutely amazing. The food here is also incredible. If you’re looking for a slightly more expensive date night I couldn’t recommend a better place! Definitely coming back next time we are down here.
