Exceptional meal. Service a bit slow and clearing out plates took a bit longer than it should have. Nonetheless, the food was fabulous. I highly recommend the lamb.
Sabrina was my wonderful server! She was super attentive, personable, and sweet! My food was amazing and everything I could have asked for. Both my dessert and food were was delicious and fresh!
My first visit to this restaurant was a delightful experience. The cuisine was thoughtfully crafted and full of rich, balanced flavors…I enjoyed the sirloin, dessert wine as well. Coupled with a well-curated ambience, the evening was both relaxing and memorable.
