    I can’t get over how incredible our server was. Elvis immediately acknowledged that we were vegetarians and had accommodations made for even the fixed Valentine’s Day menu. We truly appreciate it. And not to forget, but the food was incredible. I would go back and eat an entire bowl of the beet salata

    Attentive staff, and knowledgeable about my dietary requirements. Good timing. You don't have to wait too long for your food, but they are also not that speedy that you feel rushed. Delicious food (we had the Honey thyme spatchcock chicken, and, Yankee pot roast).
