Just make sure to call ahead to ask to be seated in the main restaurant if that’s what you want. They put us in the back but did accommodate us when we asked to be moved

We ate at the bar. Nick, the bartender, was very accommodating! Such a pleasant person. He helped us decide what to order, was always there when we needed him, but never hovered over us. Such a wonderful person. His partner was very kind and accommodating also. We went for our anniversary and could not have asked for a more special evening. It was a night to remember.

My husband and I sat at the bar. It was unusually quiet for a Thursday night. The bartender, Kendra, was engaging and on her game. I got the pasta and meatballs, which were excellent. I was told they recently changed their recipe and I highly recommend them. My husband got the sea bass and he thoroughly enjoyed it. He said he would get it again the next time.
