The heated patio atmosphere was truly delightful; it's super cozy and was greatly contrasted with the cool outside air. The food was delicious and came quickly along with the drinks; my friends and I didn't wait too long to receive our orders. And the service was splendid! Our waitress: Ava was super friendly and open to conversation with us. She made suggestive reviews on what we should get when we were unsure of the menu and overall, left a friendly impression on my friends and I.

Dinner with my friends was a great experience as the service by our waitress Ava is amazing, very friendly and open to conversation. She was able to make jokes and create great banter. She catered to all our needs and was able to make it a fun experience. The service and atmosphere only made it better, as the outdoor patio had heating and other useful amenities which were top notch.
