Had a fantastic lunch here. I like the outdoor seating, which was very accommodating for me and my dog. My waiter, Danny, was very friendly and very prompt. It was a very thoughtful gesture bringing drinks for both me and my dog. His lunch suggestion was spot on and was delicious. Throughout the course of the meal Danny was very attentive and made a concerted effort to make sure I was well taken care of. Will definitely return the next time I'm in town. Tha k you guys!!
