Our server was Kayla. She was amazing. She knew the menu very well, her suggestions for our lunch and dessert were superb. She was bright, lively and a pleasure to have wait on us. The GM, Gustavo, also stopped by and had a wonderful conversation with us and explained how the restaurant had grown and the chefs were so happy to be with them. You’ll be seeing much more of me and my staff in the upcoming months. Ten out of ten across the board.
