    Second time here and wow! Their customer service is hands down the best I've encountered in any restaurant. Our waitress Kylie was absolutely outstanding, the hostesses were welcoming, the restroom attendant was amazing (she helped me zip up my dress!), everyone we encountered was so sweet. We came to celebrate my cousin's 18th birthday and graduation. The general manager even had 2 cards written for her! We were treated with 2 desserts of our choice for both celebrations and entrees to go! And thank you to the culinary staff for perfectly and beautifully prepared appetizers, entrees, sides, and desserts. We left happy and full!

    Our server was excellent. The manager was accommodating in changing our table due to feeling cold in the original table assigned to us didn’t have roof cover. We were moved to the quaint gazebo. The hostess was also charming and fulfilled her promise that she will try to get us in if there were cancellations. I had the ahi tuna Sandiwch. It was yummers and filling. My husband said the latte he ordered was amazing and the basque cheesecake was worth the calories. :)) My friends ordered the chicken salad and the 3 mushrooms and 3 cheeses casserole dish. They both loved their food. We all finished our food!
