    Overall great experience. We kind of got off to a rough start with the host. we wanted to know if they had drinks while we waited for our table all he could seem to say is we have a lounge. We asked if there was a bar available while we waited he said all we have is a lounge. I asked are we able to get drinks he said we had a lounge not a bar. So we went next door and had a few drinks until we waited for our reservation. Then we came back in 15 minutes before a reservation he escorted us to the lounge and then asked us if we wanted a drink! But other than that it was a great experience great food great waiter! I think for a big event we will be back.

    We had a big party. 12. Including two older guests with walkers. Staff was very accommodating and appropriately attentive. We had a nice long table on the inside “patio.” Almost felt like a prive room. But more spacious. When a few guests mentioned feeling a bit cold, the turned on the heaters. Perfect. Thanks,James! Food very good. Wide selection of options. Everyone happy with their choices. Thanks for making our family dinner so special. 😊❤️
