Our waitress was amazing and beyond knowledgeable about every single dish we asked. Multiple servers stopped to ask us how our meal was, including the manager. The food was impeccable and ingredients were clearly fresh. I absolutely will be returning and recommending this location.

Everything tasted delicious. The posters, white asparagus, great rib eye steak, banana cream cake, etc. Great experience. It was just a bit too loud for relaxed conversations.
