Food was excellent and service was even better! My sister and I felt a bit under dressed so we opted for the outdoor seating even though it was cold. Our kind server turned on all of the heat lamps making our experience so comfortable! The food was so delicious that we shared food from appetizers, dinners, to dessert. We both loved it all!
