    My experience was fine, only issue we had was that the air was on Blast. For a 60 degree day it was warmer outside, me and my Fiancée were freezing. Literally

    The food and service is wonderful! We like how the downstairs area, has more of a bar feel, and the upstairs has more of an intimate dining area. We continue to recommend this place to others

    Drove an hour there only to find the the door locked at 8:00 p.m. on New Year's Eve in the middle of a storm as we got soaking wet trying to figure out what to do or where to go? Called the restaurant yesterday and barely got an apology. Very unprofessional.

    We had reservations for New Years Eve and we confirmed. We got there but the place was closed! Nobody called us and it was very difficult to go somewhere else. The entire evening was wasted...IT is very unprofessional to close and not call the people who made reservations for NYE
