Beautiful restaurant with an interesting history. Excellent menu and the food was fantastic! Had the 1/2 salad and cup of soup lunch. Choose the black bean soup served over rice. Delicious! After we ate we asked about the restaurant history and the assistant manager gave us a wonderful tour. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Service was great! Smash burgers were on the dry side. Wish they used meat with more fat content. If you are in to dry smash burgers you will love them. Just not my preference. Get the ranch wedges!

This restaurant truly impressed me with its exceptional services. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s rare to find businesses that genuinely care about their customers and go the extra mile to make them feel special. This restaurant exceeded my expectations, especially when I visited to celebrate a birthday. The food was delectable, cooked to perfection, and made with high-quality ingredients. The service was equally impressive, with attentive staff who made sure our every need was met. The restaurant’s beautiful location adds to its charm, providing a unique and inviting atmosphere. Reservations are highly recommended to ensure a table during peak hours.
