If you're in the area I'll have family and friends visiting from out of town or out of state Don't miss out on this beautiful gem of a restaurant that is family owned and professionally ran. The food is incredible, the drinks are tasty and strong and the outside bar patio side can be very relaxing as well. Also, give their lamb chops a try. You will not be disappointed!
