Stopped in with 15 people and they accommodated us perfectly even in their smaller location. We had such a joyful dinner and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier! The food was absolutely terrific as well. Highly recommend.
The food is incredible & the staff is amazing! 10/10 recommend & I’ll definitely be back!
