    I just want to give a shoutout to the great Hostess, Madelyn, who has gone out of her way to make our experience special (at two different locations). This location is such a great outdoor garden experience with an affordable yet delicious menu. Feel free to come casual and with a group of friends.

    It was my first time visiting I saw it on TikTok and wanted to try it. I do live close to the area its kind of hidden jam. It’s a new place been open for 2 months when I asked. Customer service was great it wasn’t busy on Saturday night so I don’t know how in the future will be hopefully they stay stable. Food wise: We ordered 3 kind of appetizers and 1 main course. Mushroom & Artichoke Crostini not gonna lie we didn’t like it. Mushrooms were very chewy I expected totally something else. Btw I’m giving my taste opinion maybe for someone else could be great. Eggplant Caviar was good but nothing crazy for me it was like hummus dip with small cuts of roasted peppers on top. Tuna Tartare was good. Lamb Rack was our favorite comes with mashed potato the combination was fire. Overall was good experience definitely will visit again for some pasta cuz we didn’t order anything Italian. Wish them all the best and to stay on the same path. There new so I’m pretty sure they will make some modifications for later. Definitely will visit again like I said and I do recommend to try it.

    Food was great although the portions are tiny and expensive! The service was great to a point we had multiple servers and they mixed up our orders and started sending two orders of dishes we only ordered once. Nevertheless I’ll come back again, for the food and the atmosphere!
