"Ambiance was perfect on the patio with reservations on a monday evening. Server was super friendly and helpful with recommendations. Short rib was tender and flavorful. Pork chop was very good. They recommended medium but got it medium well. Our friend ordered the chicken which was really juicy and good. Had a seasonal drink which I cant fully recall the name of, maybe cherry blossom, with whiskey in it. Server warned it was strong, and she was definitely right, but definitely would get again as the sweetness was perfect for me. The only not so great item was the carrot cake, and we love carrot cake. It was pretty dry and overly spiced. Would definitely recommend and would go back again."
