Fabulous meal. Great filet mignon cooked perfectly. Sides imaginatively prepared, plated a served. The mashed sweet potatoes are one of my many favorites. Nothing but good service with focus on the customer. We dined on the porch which was quite noisy because it has not been opened to the outdoors yet. Owner is aware and working resolution. To be fair there were several very noisy tables . Great time despite this.
