    We had a party of six, and most of us wanted to watch the college basketball game. The manager and wait staff were incredibly accommodating when we initially had to split up to see the TVs. A little later, the manager on duty went above and beyond to rearrange things so our whole group could sit outside together and still watch the game. This was our sixth visit, but it was our guests’ first time, and everything, from the food to the atmosphere to the level of service, was truly top‑notch. It made the experience even better for all of us.
