To say we’ve been sleeping on this culinary gem would be the understatement of the year 🫠 Unbelievable meal and wonderful service by Kim tonight!
Good food, good service. Quite a few gluten free options which I was very happy about; they also have a rice pasta that can be substituted in most dishes. Tasty cocktails. Enjoyed the ambiance. Definitely plan to return.
food was great, our waiter was great. Clint who greeted us at the door tried to day we had no reservation until I showed him the text where they confirmed it with us. He then proceeded to sit us at a high top table in the bar when the entire restaurant was. empty. It was very clear from his behavior that he felt we were beneath him.l
