    I was so afraid to host a dinner here for my friend’s birthday because of the reviews 😬 I have not been since they remodeled and let me just tell you the reviews are so wrong. We had a party of 12 had a fabulous time. service was impeccable! Great recommendations on food and drinks & very attentive staff. Restaurant wasn’t very busy, but people should definitely give it a try. Music wasn’t too loud so I could actually hear with everybody was staying at the table. Will definitely be back! The renovations are great and parking across the street is a huge plus, even though we found a spot right next to the restaurant.
