    Food was excellent. Jay was a fantastic host who guided us through our menu selection. My wife is gluten intolerant and Jay did an excellent job confirming which options were best

    I went for my Birthday dinner and had a awesome time!! My server was L they were perfect and made me feel so special. I had the Lamb chops w/polenta and it was amazing. They gave me a scoop of ice cream with a candle. We're already planning another dinner and definitely will be asking for L.

    Great food and service! Whipped feta dip with fresh bread is out of this world, and the rest of the meal from appetizer to entree was similarly delicious. Can't wait to come back!
    PloughResponded on April 27, 2025
    Thank you so much for the kind words! We're thrilled you loved the whipped feta dip — it's one of our favorites too! So glad the rest of your meal lived up to it as well. We can't wait to have you back for another delicious visit!
