What a Hidden Gem! Who would have thought this spot was this wonderful. The boyfriend and I stopped in to have a sit-down meal, found this place on google. Not what you would expect in a commercial area, the decor is perfect, cohesive and matches the theme of the restaurant. The menu is great, the food excellent, as well as drinks. But the best part of our experience was our server Samantha who gave us a brief history lesson on the restaurant when we came in took her time reviewing the menu with us and was just overall a great server we will certainly be back!
