    My birthday dinner. I chose the chicken dish since I don't eat seafood and preferred a filet over the steak on the menu. I eat only white meat and the chef would not accommodate 2 chicken breasts over the breast, thigh and leg. So 2 outof 3 I didn't eat. My dish came 7 mins after my son and husband were served, so they didn't want to eat without me, yet I didn't want their food to get cold. The food on a whole was very good. Waitress very nice. Not the best, but not the worst, especially on my bday.

    Excellent food, drinks are well made and good flavors. Wait staff are friendly, happy and helpful. Due to the high had ceilings it is noisy.

    Hannah took excellent care of us. My salmon entree was delicious and the salmon was a perfect medium temperature. My husband loved the fried chicken entree with a pork rind crust. The only negative dish was the grilled octopus appetizer that was fatty, chewy and didn’t taste fresh.

    Great food and great people. New location is better for parking. I missed their lamb dish which has been removed from menu.
