Katie was truly a treat. She was the bartender, the server, and an overall sweetheart when it came to our party. We made last minute reservation & she went above and beyond. Will definitely return!

The restaurant experience is extremely lovely with Ralph Lauren dinnerware, chiseled glasses, refined warm decoration with blue touches and wooden panel, semi-open views on the kitchen, not too loud, and personable service. The menu is reliably very good, from appetizer to dessert. Highly recommend this place.
