We were a big group with 4 adults and 4 children under 5. The servers were very nice to the children. The food was good and hot. We were seated very quickly and our orders were served quickly. This is how eating out should be!

In town for a couple days. Went here 2x. 1st time, service was amazing the food was ok....yesterday the food was amazing but the service fell off completely. Now if they could get good service & great food, together.... This restaurant would be 1 of the best out there.
