We had an amazing time at this restaurant! I reserved a table for me and my husband for our anniversary. We were very well taken care of and the food was delicious. It’s a really 5 stars experience. We will definitely be back for any other special occasion.

We went in August for my fiancé's birthday. It was a beautiful evening, so we decided to sit outside. We ordered a bottle of wine while they prepared the meal. Shortly after the wine came out, a few bees started to fly around us, so the staff brought us a table fan to help keep them away. The bees were relentless in swarming me though, as they must have liked my new floral perfume. I freaked out when they started flying close to my face, so I involuntarily threw my arms up to protect my face and ended up spilling an almost full glass of very nice wine all over the patio. We felt terrible, but the staff didn't miss a beat. They immediately came out to offer us a table inside, safe from the bees, cleaned up the mess I had made and offered us some bubbly to make up for the spilled glass of wine. The food was excellent, the drinks were excellent, the service was excellent. The experience is a funny memory for us now. We will be returning. Thank you to a great staff!
