    Celebrated my wife’s 30th birthday and it was beyond our expectations. The food was flavorful and you could taste the clean ingredients in each bite. The pork belly was unreal. The grass fed steak was tender and juicy. Plus our waiter was very knowledgeable with all the answers to our questions. Service and food was outstanding. We drove from Dallas and back to Dallas the same day just to try it out and I would drive back again any day of the week for dinner. Sunday brunch will be next.

    Our first visit. Overall- I always believe service wins over food. A diner can make a bad choice, but rude service is never ok. Tonight we got amazing service from Tristan and Tray. I didn’t make a good choice on my food- but totally my palette. But Tray would not take me being unhappy. They just were awesome. Treated us like diners they cared about - not even knowing if we were tourists or locals- didn’t care. We will. return! We are relocating here and now know where we will return to! Thank you!
