We stopped in unexpectedly without a reservation. The staff amazingly found a table for us with the caviate that we needed to finish our meal in 90 minutes. No problem as we were very hungry & we knew they were working hard to accommodate us. Our meals were incredible & very well prepared. Our server was equally outstanding making us feel very welcome while she explained the menu to us. We highly recommend this restaurant & will return again.
