Delicious meal and nice atmosphere. Bartender was so nice and the Pear Martini and deviled eggs were excellent. Filet mignon with bernaise sauce and loaded baked potato was a real treat. My husband's Cajun ribeye tasted great too. Had to remind hostess about our reservation after getting there early and hanging out at the bar for quite awhile, but they then scrambled and got us seated quickly. I recommend this restaurant.

We were in visiting with family and had someone in a wheelchair with a bit of a situation and Morgan and her team went above and beyond to accommodate our need to find an outlet for an oxygen tank. Writing this review is as easy as saying, we’ll be back!!! THANK YOU!
