My best friends, husband and I had dinner there on Saturday evening. My choice. We had the most endearing, lovely server, Shelly. Driving from Virginia Beach, she really made our Anniversary special. She sang Happy Anniversary while presenting us the most amazing chocolate dessert! Highly recommend to anyone celebrating anything special in their lives!

The food was delish. I had the Ridley Burger and my sister had the salmon. The atmosphere was nice but the service was amazing. Katie was so attentive and professional.Twanda was accommodating and Angela was a doll. I had a great evening.
