Wow! We had our rehearsal dinner here and the food ,the service was beyond amazing! Not only is it beautiful but worth every penny. Went over our budget for the rehearsal dinner bu...

t boy we have no complaints. We booked the outdoor patio and due to the weather mid dinner we were swiftly and seamlessly moved indoors. The staff was attentive and polite. We felt like they were apart of our guests. We loved the service so much on top of the gratuity we gave them each a cash tip for the phenomenal hospitality! Perfect venue and great for some really nice pics!!
