We are a local family run restaurant which opened in May 2014. After years of entertaining for large crowds in our home and doing some small side-catering, and having our guests tell us over and over again, "You guys have got to open a restaurant," we finally did it! We have a passion for food and have found that great food brings joy to the wonderful people in our life. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring that same joy to our customers.
