    Brian and Dana were amazing. Just overall an amazing experience celebrating my dog’s 4th birthday with my family. They were so kind and such a memorable night for all of us. They gave her lots of pets and treats and even came and sang happy birthday. Will most definitely come back just because of the service being so special and unlike any other restaurant that’s so dedicated to giving everyone in the family (even pets) an amazing experience. The company’s values are amazing and it shows what they’re really trying to accomplish with this establishment.

    Our server was absolutely wonderful! I have hearing difficulties. I've been to your restaurant only three times so far but each time you have always been thoughtful enough to give me the first booth next to the bar! You should put a plaque with my name on it there! The French onion soup was superb as was the French dip! I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT❗ I've sent all my friends and family!!!!!
