Excellent food and service. We ate on the patio as there was two large tables that were very loud. Definitely need more sound absorption eventually. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly so Overall a good experience and we will go back.

The food quality, service, and ambience were outstanding. Kristine goes out of her way to provide a personal touch by not only interacting with guests but also attending to any special requests. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail make for a most memorable experience. I will make it a point to return in the near future. Many thanks Kristine! Dr. Fel Rocci
