1st time here tonight and they accommodated a party of 12 with 2 hours notice. The hostess made sure the elder members of our party had a place to sit to wait since we arrived 30 min early. Aubrey our waitress was amazing and very sweet. Food was excellent served accurately and simultaneously for a large party. Food was really good. Ordered drinks ahead of time in bar same efficient great service. The only issue is it’s loud. Please give this place a try you won’t be sorry

I really enjoyed the 6 course meal and wine parking event. The service was impeccable! The beautifully lit heated patio overlooking the golf course was relaxing and the perfect setting for the event. The food was beautiful, interesting and delicious! The wines were paired professionally and complimented each course to make the evening memorable. My fave was grilled peach and whipped goat cheese bruschetta paired with a Mondavi Napa souvingion Blanc. The taste of the wine was beautifully enhanced by the flavors of appetizer. This was a wow moment for me! Beautiful evening!
