    Our server and the manager were so nice. They gave us a complimentary bottle of champagne for my friend, the bride. Food was outstanding!

    Host was very nice and took us right back to our table where we sat for over 20 minutes until a server came over and brought us water and said our server would be over soon. Over server came over about 5-10 minutes later and seemed overwhelmed. Not very personable AT ALL. Food was ok but not great.
