    The food and table side manner was absolutely amazing! Even if one minor error was made, they noticed it on their own without us having to bring it up, and take care of it promptly... Was a fantastic overall experience for our anniversary. We sat outside until some weather started to come in, and they rapidly accommodated moving us inside and we finished our meal there. I cannot rave enough about how good the food was and reasonably priced.

    The hostess and waitress did everything to make us feel comfortable and have a wonderful experience. My daughter and I were very impressed with the service. I don’t normally leave written reviews, but the service was that good the last time we went. Outstanding. Many thanks to the hostess and our waitress. I’m not sure if this message would get back to them and I didn’t catch their names but it was Thursday night, the hostess was a slim young lady and the waitress had a beautiful Colombian accent. Their service was fantastic.
