So fun! Our waitress (Shona) told us the story of the beginning of the restaurant. She also gave us great recommendations. We loved all the food and I loved the Margarita Swirl. Was a great time with my husband of 44 years.

We went for our work Christmas dinner and loved the food as always. Our server was very nice and patient with us as we had two ppl that hadn’t been there and answered all their questions and got everything they needed. So happy to see George serving!! I see him every time and he’s always so nice and says hi to me. He’s always in a positive and upbeat mood. Can’t wait to come back again for dinner
