i can't highly recommend this venue enough, food & service were epic. We came here for our 20th wedding anniversary and we weren't let down. Food was exceptional, i can't say in words how good it was. we will definitely return. Please go and enjoy yourselves! Staff were very good, just the right amount of interaction without hovering round and annoying you like at some places. comfortable seating, nice drinks, convenient location with parking close by. compliments to the chef & all staff, get yourselves down there now!
