Hospitality at its very best. Hostess and server were pleasant and professional. Waitress was knowledgeable about food and drinks and made great recommendations . I would highly recommend their happy hour or lunch menu. Food was innovative, very flavorful and outright delicious. I highly suggest making a visit.
