                                    Our experience started with the basement bar. The bartender was friendly and served us quickly. We moved upstairs for dinner. The host greeted us with a smile and led us to our table. They had taken time to leave a birthday card at the table for my husband. What a kind gesture! Our waiter, Jack, was outgoing and fun. The food was incredible. The best shrimp scampi I’ve had; the flavor was incredible. My husband raved about the crab cakes and claims the hush puppies were the best he has ever eaten. The new manager stopped by to ask about our experience. He is a great addition to your team.
