Daniel George is always excellent, and this time was no exception. Friendly greeting and service, accompanied with scrumptous entrees and sides. Prepared beverages were pretty darn good, too. You could just tell everyone in the restaurant was having a great time, enjoying the meal, and glad they came. I'm guessing they'll all be back. I know we will!

The experience was overall positive. The hostess was also the waitress. When it did get busy, they were having to multitask. However was aware of the wait and made a point to apologize. We accepted and understood. Chef delivered food and stated they were short staffed at the time. Food was great and the dessert( bread pudding) was the best i ever had 👍🏾
