Our service professional Rob was on point! He made sure everything was perfect, especially catering to food allergy needs. He went out of his way to make sure everything was safe. We never had an empty drink. The food was delicious. The backup staff was on their game. Top notch service from walking in the door to leaving.

Fabulous service throughout the evening. The bartender was professional and engaging. Angela served cocktails that were made to perfection. Dinner was just as perfect. Roberto was the consummate professional as well. He was attentive to our needs but never on top of us. Our dinner as well as the wine was outstanding. Truly a great experience throughout the entire evening.
