Excellent service, delicious food and great ambience. Family friendly and also great cocktails! Outdoor patio is very nice! We made a reservation for 8 people on Easter Sunday for lunch. We were greated right away and our table was already ready. We had a very friendly server, Caleb.

Wonderful; wonderful “Happy Hour” on the back patio, while the weather was perfect. Our waiter, Ethan was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and Pinot Grigio (times 6) was yummy. I enjoyed the southwest chicken salad. My two friends really loved the California roll and the carnitas tacos.

We got seated right away however our server didn’t greet us until about 10 -15 minutes later. Since we waited so long we ordered right away and didn’t see our server until like 30 minutes later. Someone else brought our food and it was cold and not good. We had to ask for our check from another waiter and pay our check with another waiter bc she only came back once to ask how our food was. We normally get food service and food so this was surprising.

Awesome place. Food was excellent and the selection was impressive. They even had GF options for my spouse and that was so nice to see. Happy Hour was clutch since my daughter was able to order off the Happy hour menu and still have a nice meal.
