Great service. We were happy to leave 25% tip. I would have left more if I was a wealthy person. The food was phenomenal, the vibe was cool, the server was super friendly and was able to spend a little more time with us to answer our questions and entertain out curiosity regarding food questions and other items. Off season in the mountains. The locals were out. A lot of the staff engaged with us, not just our server. We felt welcomed and were honored to eat here. Highly recommended everything especially the dessert box.
