    Food was great quality, especially for the price. Our server was personable, knowledgeable, made great recommendations, and was very attentive. We were there for a birthday and had a late seating (tues @9pm) and one of the last tables left. They didn’t make us feel like we needed to rush, & the entire wait staff came out to sing happy birthday. 10/10 would go again
