Tiana was excellent server. Brought great energy, she was attentive, and anticipated our every need. My filet was a bit overcooked but not enough to complain about. The drinks were great and we had a nice time

From the moment we sat down, Tek (our server) made this an unforgettable evening in the best possible ways. The food was spectacular. I had the sole - which, having had an office in Paris for many years, I rarely dare to order in the US. It was amazing! My wife had the most delectable scallops plus stuffed shrimp. We were celebrating our anniversary, they made this one of the best celebrations ever! Samara (the manager) stopped by as well to express her gratitude. What an amazing evening!!!
