What a gem! From start to finish, this was a five-star experience. The food was absolutely outstanding — every dish was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The service was just as impressive. Our waitress, Kaitlyn, was attentive, friendly, and made us feel completely taken care of throughout our meal. John, the manager, checked in personally to make sure everything was perfect, which really showed how much they care about their guests.
It’s rare to find a place...

Just the absolute best!! We’ve been going here for years, and each time truly gets better & better. From the food, to the service, to the management- it’s all just fantastic! They make you feel right at home and everything is always delicious. One of our favorite spots! Can’t recommend it enough.

I don’t normally rate / review salads but their Greek salad was the tastiest I’ve ever had. I ordered it through DoorDash and it came fresh, covered in this amazing oregano blend, just enough oil for flavor and wasn’t drenched. The cheese was so good on it too. I devoured the whole thing. I want another soon lol hands down the best
