    As soon as you walk in you feel you are somewhere special. We were immediately seated even though we were about 20 minutes earlier than our reservation. The waitress was very fast and attentive. Our food came quickly and it was a calm atmosphere. The waitress checked on us a few times which I appreciate. They did not rush us out which was nice also. The food was delicious and the cost of both of our meals with our drinks was only about 55.00. I would definitely go back here.
