Food was excellent. Waitress was very polite and gave great service at the table. Her visits were somewhat rare and the food took a long time. But overall a good experience.

We sat at the bar, great food, great ambience, my only complaint was we kept asking the bartender what he recommended and he wouldn't give us recommendations. He would say things like "everything on the menu is good" We tried a couple different times but ended up just taking stuff on her own.

The atmosphere is perfect for relaxing, enjoying a beverage, and good company! I recommend making a reservation and opting for the Adirondack chairs, as they offer great views of the stage when there’s a performer and provide shade. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and has become a new favorite!
