    We had a great dinner here with friends! Since we know it can get noisy we requested a quiet table and they gave us a great booth in the corner. Service was excellent and food was great. Will definitely dine here again!

    Our food, wine and service were excellent. Sitting near the fireplace was nice, but it's quieter outdoors in warmer weather.
