The owner was wonderfully helpful when we wanted to increase our group size; our server was VERY pleasant and the food was DELICIOUS! We had a special birthday celebration and our server did a really nice job. We would absolutely go back there again! We even left something at the restaurant and they called us to let us know that they found it. They were awesome and we highly recommend you check it out! Great booths, high tops and tables -- comfortable, not too loud and great menu! Thanks District 118!
