Sunday to Sunday was just great. I arrived early for a 12:30 reservation on a very rainy day, and though the restaurant was packed at the time, my table was waiting for me and it was great to be able to wait inside until my Great Niece arrived. Cat, our server was awesome as were all the other servers and the hostess was very sweet and helpful too. Delicious food, great drinks and reasonable prices. We were very happy.
