This was a wonderful treat in fabulous surroundings. The staff were very attentive and Mason was so helpful to us. The vibe was very relaxed and the food was outstanding. We were given the cutest doggy bags to take home as we just couldn’t eat everything in one sitting. Would definitely recommend this for a special occasion…or just an occasion. 😀
