We had a wonderful experience! Met with my best friend and her husband for a little Saturday night out! We shared the bbq shrimp and deviled egg appetizers and the blackened chicken pasta which were all delicious. Our espresso martinis 🍸 were on point, and the manager Eric was so thoughtful and kind enough to help us celebrate my engagement by bringing us the berry cheesecake, a giant slice of chocolate cake, and the tiramisu- which was personally my favorite part of the meal. For my first time trying this restaurant, I have to say I think it will definitely be added to my rotation! Thanks for a great night!
