Food is below expectation. The median rare beef steak we ordered looked alright but at least one third of it was pretty chewy and hard to swallow. The sea bass was ok but could have been more tender.

I went for my birthday and had the best time, would go back for another special occasion. Beautiful decor, very clean and detailed all throughout the restaurant. I would recommend calling for your reservation to ensure better seating but everything was seamless about the reservation process. As for food also amazing, HUGE portions and STRONG drinks so definitely worth the price. I don’t remember the names but our servers but they were amazing and attentive as well as their in house photographer who took gorgeous pics. For a party of three the total came to be around 475 including tax and tip so with everything considered, it turned out to be a great value for the time that we had. 10/10
