Great night! Terrace is beautiful and the ambiance matches it’s style. Food was delicious and fresh. Paella was great and the Wagyu skirt steak was cooked perfectly. A must for date night. Crisp night was “topped off” literally with a retractable roof and the stars were bright as can be.

We had a wonderful outdoor dining experience here with an attentive server and excellent food. The only negative on the food was that the Greek salad was advertised as having olives and it had none because the restaurant was out of olives. We could’ve been told that at the time we placed our order. The portion size was Substantial. With the temperature in the upper 70s, it was a perfect evening to dine outdoors.

A wonderful evening with family and friends trying out some place new. We wanted to try so many menu items we decided to share plates. Everything was delicious! Especially enjoyed the lamb chops. Who knew we liked vegetables as much as we did when presented artfully and flavorful. The desserts were sinfully good. The service was attentive and friendly. The chef came by. The hostess was so polite and sweet. Just a fabulous night all around!
