Was waiting 30 mins until I had to go to host and tell her we still haven't been greeted. We can hear her asking around who can pick up a table people would look our way then say no there busy. Didn't feel right but we stayed anyways finally our server came and took our order our chicken was good but the side Brussels sprouts and fries were cold but we waited to long to care .

It was our first time dining here celebrating our anniversary, and it didn't disappoint! The food was delicious, and the desserts were to die for! We were fortunate enough to meet Molly the Food Network winner & the young man in pastry named Carlos. They were excellent in presenting the variety of desserts we ordered. We also got to take photos with the pastry team!
