Had a great experience with an old friend from high school. The pork with bing cherries and the bread pudding were amazing! And who doesn’t love a good grapefruit and basil martini?!

Food was excellent & service was great! Carissa was our server & did a great job! Food is sooooooo good! Props to the kitchen staff again for outstanding food! The food is always on point, as well as our drinks from the bar! Bartenders make the best drinks! Don’t miss out on visiting here, you won’t regret it! And I can’t forget to acknowledge Steve, the mgr, he’s one of the best! Always on top of things & really nice. Thx again for another great date night 🙂

Tried to schedule outdoor dining through open table but it said none was available. When we arrived at the restaurant there was only one table used and I counted about 15 unused tables outside. Kinda suspicious.
