    I came here with my sister to celebrate my birthday and the food was wonderful! Perfectly seasoned and cooked. The service was amazing as well. I can’t wait to come here again!

    Excellent table and excellent service. The seabass was really good but not as good as it should be. The menu is pretty boring.

    My grandson and I had a great dinner on Saturday night. We had a reservation for 6:30 pm and we were seated after a short wait. Boy, did it get busy after that! It seems like Saturday night had a number of couples celebrating Valentine’s Day a day late. Great food, great service (in a very busy restaurant), a good live band and good vibes all night long.

    Overpriced for mediocre food. Restaurant was at less than 25% capacity and we had waited 20 minutes before getting our drink order taken.

    Booked a reservation for 9 pm on Valentines day. Arrived at 8:15 and was told to expect to be seated around 9 as expected. Tried to get a drink at the bar but were ignored by staff for over an hour even after finding seating at the bar. Did not get seated at a table until 10:40 approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes after our reservation and were told some items on the fixed menu were no longer available. Overall very poor experience and service. Will not be returning nor recommending to others.

    I made a reservation for two at 9:00pm. The restaurant grossly overbooked and those with 7:30 reservations were just getting seated at 9:20. We found one seat at the bar and ended up eating there. The meal was not worth the $130 per person they charged.
