Spent 3 hours visiting with two high-school friends from the 80's. There was no pressure on us to vacate the table and our waitress was wonderful! I wished I could remember her Name. Happy Holidays Mary Bowling

The owner Shawn is a very kind and generous human being. We’ve always had a fantastic meal when we’ve dined there. On our first wedding anniversary he gave us a free dessert which was so kind. When we did have an issue with one of our meals he went above and beyond to bless us to make up for it. Highly impressed. Thanks Shawn!
