Michael G.Michael G.: Beautiful decor in a spacious setting, ideal for large parties. The food was surprisingly healthy and light. Nothing in particular stood out as fantastic, but the food was solid.

Morgan M.Morgan McKee: Newer place, and it’s obvious. Not so crowded and service a little frazzled. However, food was decent and the space was nice. Could be something if food steps it up and service is improved.
