    I've been before, this time I went for my birthday. Loved the food, I had the filet and the lobster mac n cheese paired with a merlot from Argentina. Loved the service even more, I hope you get a chance to have Lori Ann take care of you when you go, She certainly took excellent care of us. Above and beyond my expectations.

    We had the pleasure of meeting Roman, and he was awesome! He was so kind, friendly, and extremely attentive. What we really appreciated was that he took the time to stop and have a genuine conversation with us, yet never missed a beat when it came to taking care of his other customers. You could tell he truly enjoys what he does and cares about the people he serves. Roman made our visit even more enjoyable, and we really appreciated his wonderful hospitality!
