We knew exactly what kind of atmosphere we wanted for our wedding and when we walked inwe automatically knew this was it. The staff is fun and friendly and helpful. The owner is relatively set in his ways of doing things but really let's you do...

what you want. Nt a lot of decorations needed and no candles required. I'd say we fit around 225 in comfortably. It is more for cocktail style dining as there aren't many tables.
