    We came here for an intimate work dinner for 8 (with a reservation), and it was absolutely perfect. They had a perfect table for us separated from most other tables. Danny was our server and was so attentive! He made great suggestions for the group, kept our water and other glasses full, and gave us the exact amount of time to enjoy dining and just causally talking! Food was phenomenal. Location is great. Will definitely do this again for a group dinner! Thanks to the whole team, but specially Danny who was THE BEST!

    We were a little stressed about the parking situation so when we inquired with the staff at the lobby they offered complimentary valet for up to 3 hrs which was a relief with a toddler. Our food was very tasty and better than I anticipated from the Google reviews - you deserve much higher. We will definitely return the next time we're in the area.
