We celebrate my wife's birthday every year with you, and we were there on Sat, July 5. It was great, and she loved it like always. Specific kudos to our waiter (whose name I did not catch but the table was under my name). The food and ambience were exactly what she likes and wanted. I also appreciate the noise level (i.e., very nice and quiet).

Wonderful food (the salmon entree was outstanding!). Our waiter, Tim, was always checking in without hovering and the rest of the staff was very accommodating and friendly. Wonderful night to eat outside and celebrate our anniversary. We’ll be coming back :)
