“ If I could give more stars I would. We made a reservation and right when we got inside (5 minutes early,) our table was ready to go with menus & waters. Our bartender/server was so nice and very attentive to our evening. I loved the atmosphere and the view! The food was absolutely DELICIOUS. We had the soup of the day, crab stuffed mushrooms, filet mignon & dill crusted salmon. Everything was exceptional. Flavors, presentation, & speed were amazing! I love that they used all thrifted plates/glasses; it gives such a cozy/welcoming feel. The cocktail I had (Peach Tea I believe) was delicious as well! 10/10 recommend & will absolutely be returning! ”
