I love this place. We live in the neighborhood and come often and meet friends. Met very dear friends for lunch so not a huge crowd which was perfect for us. Unfortunately, the music was too loud but I could not ask for it to be lowered without causing a stir. That was my ONLY criticism. Wait staff is phenomenal. Food was great.

Hi, Maddie was our waitress and was outstanding! The basketball game was on and their was music playing beforehand. Great atmosphere. then the basket ball game came on and it was loud and NO ONE in the court was paying attention to it. Only people at the outside bar area. Keep the music on in the outdoor court area for atmosphere and only play the game at the bar area please. Other than that, outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!

Macy is the BEST!!! Exceptional service, honest and helpful recommendations (based on her extensive recall of our preferences) coupled with the friendliest most welcoming service. To be honest, I would love to see a few more choices on the menu, but Macy keeps us coming back for more (of the same)!
