Excellent experience, great food, and great service. We went on a Sunday evening and it wasn’t very busy. Our waitress was extremely attentive and pleasant. By chance, we arrive just before the end of happy hour, and we were able to get a lot of food and drink for a very reasonable price.

When one of our party was unable to get a side dish item with their entree, chef Derrick came out to the table to let us know, and find an alternative. Such personal integrity in one's craft is not usually seen these days. He also followed up with complimentary desserts to go. Five stars for service from the back of the house on this occasion. Thank you Derrick!
