    We had the most wonderful experience last night celebrating my Husband’s Birthday. From the sweet hostess who seated us in the cutest booth and wished my husband a happy birthday, to our kind, knowledgable waitress - it was the most welcoming place we had been in years. There was a genuine and authentic care you felt from the staff. The dinner we had could have been the best meal we have had in our lives. The wine list was huge and the ones we chose from France were perfection. Our meals were full of flavor and cooked masterfully. There wasn’t a single thing I would change about our selections. To top it off, they brought out fluffy buttermilk “Happy Birthday” beignets with a single candle to complete our night. We would come back here time and time again. The tea light candles all around, the warm ambiance, friendly staff and outstanding food made for the most magical evening together. 5 Stars all around.

    Great for seafood lovers, also great vegetarian options. We had a great time- the table next to ours was loud- so it wasnt the best venue in retrospect to catch up with old friends- But we all had a superb dinner and really enjoyed ourselves.
