    I hosted a small work group of 8ppl on Cinco de Mayo at 6p. Let's just say that the place was in full motion by then. We arrived, were seated right away and were greeted shortly after by our server, Chelsea! Considering all of the Cinco mayhem happening, Chelsea was not only attentive, but she was generous in making some last minute adjustments to our order (we got a little menu happy lol). She also took the time to walk some of us through cocktails that were new to us, as we wanted to try many and she placed every cocktail in front of the person that ordered. For a group this size, I dont see that often. In addition to our wonderful server, a huge shout out to their food runners and back servers. We were never without water at our table and anything that was empty (water container, plates, drinks) they did not stay on that table very long. Always impressed by this level of service in a casual restaurant, on such a high volume day! I will be back!

    The GM and bar server were very attentive and accommodating in hosting my birthday party here. It made my night even more special and I would recommend hosting events here in the future. The events planner was equally as attentive and supportive as well, especially with her timeliness in response and options for hosting events based on party size. Thank you for a special and memorable night
