    Awesome time. A great dining experience. Service was on point. Only confusing part of evening was our seating arrangement. We only had outside option. But inside was 50% empty. Makes no sense. We watched another couple leave when they couldn’t sit inside.

    Was there for a very special anniversary dinner. Originally was taken to a table crowded between many other tables and a very noisy part of the restaurant. I was surprised a table was placed there because it was not easy to walk between the tables to get to this table. The hostess saw our shocked faces for the table and quickly took us to another table in a quieter part of the restaurant where a there was no worry of backing a chair into another party. We’ve sat at better tables in the past, more private, but this was ok.
