    The staff welcomed us the minute we walked in the door with a “happy birthday” as we were celebrating my husbands “special 70!” They had a hand written card signed by the staff and brought a surprise dessert ! The food was outstanding especially the bone marrow taco which is what brought us to the restaurant. The wait staff was outstanding! We loved our experience and would recommend to everyone especially those celebrating a special occasion!

    If you have the opportunity, the thought, or even just are recalling a memory of this place, believe that it is a sign you SHOULD GO. 10/10 every. Damn. Time. No misses. All hits. Trust the server. Trust the bar tender. Talk, drink, be merry. There is NO group or occasion that doesn’t belong here.
