  • wedding celebration dinner
    Great food and friendly staff who set up a table specifically for us when we wound up brining an extra person to our already large party. They also brought us champagne when they found out we were celebrating our wedding. Thank you to the great staff!
  • wedding party brunch, party of 20
    This place is amazing. They seated a wedding party of 20 within 30 minutes of my calling. The food was amazing! Our party recommends the French Toast and Croque Madame. The service was outstanding as well. Caitlyn, the hostess I think, took great care of us. Our wait staff was Hailey and Charles. Both went above and beyond to make sure our large party was satisfied. The only blip was figuring out how to pay the tab. But that's more on us. I cannot wait to return. Thank you for making my family and friends comfortable and thank you for the special treat!
  • walk-in group dinner, party of 20
    The manager accommodated a group of 20 of us on a walk in notice. The staff were helpful and the food was good
  • elopement celebration dinner, party of 12
    I called last minute because my brother eloped and we had a party of twelve and they said " we would love to have you". My socks were knocked off. The service was excellent, the food was impeccable. Thank you for making this possible for me and my family.
