    My spouse and I celebrated our 23rd anniversary, and it was an unforgettable evening! From the moment we arrived, the hostess greeted us warmly, acknowledging our special occasion with genuine enthusiasm. The staff who served our drinks also congratulated us, making us feel truly special. Our server was incredibly attentive despite a busy night, ensuring every detail was perfect. The medium-rare rib eye was cooked to absolute perfection—juicy—and the fried potato salad was a delightful surprise. To top it all off, we were treated to a delicious complimentary dessert that capped the night beautifully. Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience! Thank you.

    Overall a great experience. It was very, very loud in the dining room making conversation with the table difficult. But the waitstaff was attentive, our food came out in a timely manner, and it all tasted great. Might think about dining outside next time to avoid the noise.
