Jonathan was the absolute best waiter I have ever had! He treated my sister and I to such a lovely lunch today! He was truly exceptional and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great day! We can’t wait to come back and see him again! Definitely try to sit in his section whenever he is here!
If you're looking for great food and knowledgeable staff, this is the place! We had another excellent experience from the sangria, 1905 salad to the main entrees.
Everything was fabulous. Christy our server was very informative on the history of the restaurant as well as the menu options that she highly recommended and all of her choices were perfect.
