    Our server Konnor had great personality and provided excellent service. He was always at our table at the right time. The fried mac and cheese sticks were delicious and the porterhouse and salmon were well worth the price. Shoutout to Brad, if you check hospitality in a dictionary, you would see his photo. Thank you for taking care of us.

    The food was absolutely delicious. Shared many different plates with friends including the roasted carrots (to die for), the beets, the tomato burrata ( warmed and so much flavor), the cabbage, the ahi tuna, the chicken, the steak and the scallops. Finished with sharing a piece of coconut cake and the butterscotch pudding. All amazing!

    Food and restaurant was nice. Service was initially slow but improved. Food is great but price (high) versus portion didn’t balance out.
