    Romantic/beautiful place for a date night or even a celebration for dinner! We went for Valentines Day. They had a set menus which was all delicious, the price was a little high, but nothing too crazy. Drinks were delicious and service was near perfect. They were late on some drinks and food but our server Rocky made sure we got those quickly after she noticed they were taking a little long. Even provided us with free dessert for the wait on some of our food and drink but overall good experience!

    I’d give it a 4.5. Just because the ambience was great, however I think the tables Close Together which is kind of annoying. Besides that everything else looks perfect. The food was great. A lot of the plates and dishes were five stars but I think somewhere 3.5 to 4 only because I feel like they were missing extra for example, Cheese’s, or seasoning. But besides that 10/10 would come here again. The Food was overall enjoyable, the place was beautiful the service was amazing.

    My husband and I celebrated our 2nd year wedding anniversary on Taco Tuesday and had a wonderful dinner and the waitress was kind enough to bring us a slice of Tres Leches cake to share it made the celebration that more special!
