We had the loveliest experience celebrating a surprise birthday here. From the very beginning, Mike, Sanna, and the entire waitstaff were warm, attentive, and gracious—they truly went above and beyond to make the evening feel special. We arranged a casual celebration and shared the private room with another small party, yet everything felt comfortable, festive, and beautifully managed. Everyone had such a wonderful time. What made their hospitality even more meaningful was that our gathering took place immediately after a wine-tasting event, when the restaurant was at its busiest and also short 2 staff. Even so, the team did everything possible to create a smooth, welcoming, and memorable experience for us. Their kindness, flexibility, and genuine effort did not go unnoticed. We are so grateful to the entire team for helping make the birthday celebration feel so joyful and special.

This was our first time at this restaurant. The decor is quite charming and on a Sunday evening it was not at all crowded. The portions are large and shareable and we enjoyed the shrimp po-boy sandwich and the empanadas as well as a salad with pears. The servers were friendly and attentive, bringing us our appetizers and main together as we had asked for. The only negative may have been that service was a tad slow probably because there appeared to be only two staff serving. We will certainly go here again.
