Obviously the food was amazing. But I must say what made my experience so special was the service we received at the bar. Our seats were bar seats and I am so glad they were. The waitress was so friendly and was there for us every step of the way. She even came out with another plate of food for us after we finished our meals. I never had this level of service. I consider this place to be on the very top of the list for an excellent place to eat at with your friends and family....read full review
