We thought the food and wine were great, but the table we had was probably the worst in the restaurant — right next to the host stand, kitchen, and service station. But we made due and still had a nice evening.

We haven’t been here in over a year but it’s not as good as we remembered. The food tasted blend and under seasoned this time around. Service was good but wished the major factor, the food, was better. Unfortunately probably won’t be returning wish so many options around town now.
