We came here for our anniversary and we loved it! Sydney seated us and Scott was our waiter. We have never had such great tasting food. We had the porkchop and the ribeye. The sides were the Brussel sprouts, polenta, and mashed potatoes. We can’t wait to go again for our next dinner.
Great experience!! Very romantic!
