    Bethany is the bomb! We went on Easter Sunday, and she was very attentive but not in our face. Made some good suggestions when we were undecided. First time to this location but we will be back!

    Went for Easter and while they had a limited menu, understandable, the food was absolutely amazing. Plenty of choices so everyone in our party was able to get something they wanted. Everyone was left satisfied and thoroughly enjoyed their meal

    My first time here, I took my girlfriend because she really likes your restaurant. The food and service and all the employees were all professional, polite, courteous and gave a 110% to us! I give all the employees and the restaurant a 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating. Yes I’ll be back in the future. Thank you for all that you did last Saturday night, I appreciate you all !😉
