We dined at S+C for a lunch that was part business and part pleasure. Our experience was outstanding, top to bottom. Helen was the best server and I applaud her hospitality skills, wildly in-depth knowledge of the menu, and instinct for anticipating needs or asks. The food was so good that we went for dessert even though we were full, trusting it would be delightful (it was). Highly recommend a visit to this restaurant and again, huge thanks to Helen—she deserves a raise!

I had the best time at Rumi’s. The atmosphere was excellent, the food was incredibly good. The drinks were innovative and tasted amazing. I’m glad I chose to spend my Anniversary here. My wife and I loved it, and our waiter Marcus was phenomenal, so knowledgeable on everything and had the best service we could ask for. Would recommend for sure!
