    The greeting the staff, our hostess & the food presentation were excellent. My daughter and grandchild it was the first visit and I took them into the bar area and the outdoor dining showing them how nice it was. The food servings were very large in the presentation was very pretty. The only comment I would leave behind it took longer than I would’ve liked to get our first cocktail and appetizer order in believing that had a lot to do with them being busy. The food came out very quickly afterwards. We will be back⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
