This was my first time dining here and I really enjoyed it. I was seated outside which was lovely, besides when it started raining but it was towards the end of my experience so it’s fine. The food was very good and my waitress was attentive. I also took advantage of valet which was nice. I will say valet is pretty expensive though.
