This is my second time coming to this restaurant and I have been dreaming about it the last time I had it 3 years ago. John was our amazing server and gave us the best recommendations. He was so nice and polite the moment we sat down. I recommend this place to out of towners and locals. The staff was the best and the food was the cherry on top from our appetizers to our main meals.

A quiet little place…but a hidden gem for sure! Amazing food. Every dish! One small hiccup with a dish prepared incorrectly was immediately taken back…and remade from the start, but with an urgency that was impressive. Did I say the food was amazing?!? Friendly people, great service…and amazing food…every dish!!! Don’t think twice, don’t walk, RUN! Your taste buds will thank you!
