Went there on a Friday for date night. The hostess was friendly, and promptly sat us. The environment was comfortable. The restaurant was busy, but our waitress was attentive, was knowledgeable about the menu, and delivered great service throughout the evening. The food was bet good. I highly recommend the buffalo cauliflower, the mushroom risotto, the gumbo and the crab stuffed shrimp! The drinks were delicious as well. Highly recommend!
