Our waiter was excellent. He was very attentive and checked on us multiple times. He was very knowledgeable about the food. He took time to tell us about how they grow their own produce. The food was exceptional. Looking forward to going again.❤️

Great stop before the Muny show on a Tuesday night. They were busy, but conscientious of the time it took to get our food and manager to explain came unprompted to explain. We will go again.

Wonderful experience, from service, to food, to even the decor. Can’t wait to come back soon for an Urban Legend cocktail and a shrimp ceviche!
