This is a great go-to for celebratory dinners and date nights. The bacon-wrapped dates are a must starter, and the crème brûlée never disappoints! We took my aunt there for her birthday and had the pleasure of being served by Jenny. The service was excellent and helped make the night a special one.

First time dining here - had my birthday dinner and it was great! Food was amazing, got pork chop, fillet steak, mashed potatoes, and crab cake. Our server Katie was super attentive and great too!
