Love the location and the laid back vibe of this place! The staff are super friendly and our server, Kristin, was delightful! My Simply Grilled filet with a demi-glace was perfectly done and I really enjoyed the chef's special vegetables - zucchini and summer squash in a buttery sauce and mashed sweet potatoes. My husband had the Simply Grilled swordfish with a demi-glace and it was delicious. S really great evening out!
