    Food and cocktails are on the pricier side, but everything was delicious. The portions are just right - you won't walk out of here feeling overstuffed. One person in our party had a food allergy and staff handled it with tremendous care. Service was exceptional, and I really loved how our server treated the younger members of our table individually, with the same kindness and respect as the adults. If you're a dessert person get the Donut Drops - they might have been the favorite thing we ordered!
