We had seven people in our party celebrating my son's 21st birthday. We had the most wonderful dinner with an exceptional server Sylvia. We ordered several appetizers and entrées, which were all excellent. The chef even made a dish for our two vegan guest. They could not stop reading how wonderful it was. Thank you so much for an awesome birthday celebration.
