My family and I had a great experience with our server, Terra. She was fast, welcoming, friendly and was a phenomenal server. Our food came out fast and was delicious, she constantly refilled our drinks whenever they were getting empty. She was extremely efficient even during rush hour dinner time. We will definitely be returning in hopes to get Terra again. :)

We went for dinner tonight and it was extremely busy, thankfully we had a reservation. Our server, Dylan, was awesome, she was available when we needed her and she did a great job checking on us to make sure our meal was good. All of the staff honestly were friendly and more than willing to assist. Our food arrived as ordered and was hot plus it was super tasty. Great food and staff truly make an experience and we couldn't be happier with our date night. Despite the restaurant being very busy, our meals arrived quickly which is just an added bonus. Will definitely be back :)

Great spot for a well priced dinner. Portions are great and the food is very tasty. The service was exceptional, all thanks to our server, Amy. She was attentive, caring and always made sure our drinks were topped up. One of the best locations I’ve been too and I will come back, due to the good food, and the highlight of our meal, the service.

Awful experience. A billion things all went wrong.
1.Waitresses was rude and off putting. She took zero accountability for mistakes SHE made
2.Cold coffee( waitresses blammed it on someone else) - Took 20 minutes for a new one
3. Food was hard as a rock (lasagna)
4. Dessert ordered was taken, 20/30 minutes later the bill came and no dessert
5. Took 20 more minutes to get the desserts and another cup of coffee.
6. The desserts came cold and with a HAIR in it

We had such a great experience tonight thanks to our server, Hailey P. She was incredibly quick, kind, and so knowledgeable. Our food and drinks came out perfectly timed, we never had to wait for anything, and she didn’t miss a single detail. It was one of those meals where everything just flows and that’s entirely because of her.
You can tell she genuinely cares about the service she gives and it made the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. Honestly, one of the best service experiences we’ve had in a long time. Huge shoutout to Hailey, she’s a real standout and the reason we’ll be back.
