The dishes here are absolutely delicious. Service is usually really good. This particular night we got a new server that wasn’t as familiar with the menu as should have been prior to being of service to customers. At this price point all servers should have a healthy understanding of the food being served and off recommendations when asked. Otherwise, very good experience and will definitely come back again
