Great place! Great food! Clean and had a cute, traditional aesthetic. Our server Andrew was great. A little expensive but that’s everywhere these days. Plus the portions were huge. We came on a Sunday morning and randomly stumbled upon it. They had a lady playing live music, it was such a sweet experience. Highly recommend. More
