    Entering the restaurant the hostess was very greeting and sat us to our table until our guests arrived. The food was amazing from the appetizers to dinner and dessert. Our waitress was very nice and made us laugh. This was our first visit here definitely recommend and will be going back for sure.

    Food was excellent; service was good. There were additions to the price fixed menu. We were not told there was an additional charge until I asked. It is a good restaurant for a special occasion.

    Excellent food on Valentine’s Day. Service felt rushed and pressured. We had to ask for simple things like lemon for our water multiple times. Had to ask for extra sauce multiple times as well. When our food was wrapped up we asked for the extra sauce to be put on the food. Server ran away mid-sentence. We had to do it ourselves. Again, food was a 5, service a 3. Granted, holidays are tough, but the price warranted excellent service.

    I had a party for my grandfather’s birthday in the wine cellar, and it was a phenomenon event. From start to finish, the staff was incredible. Jessica went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience. The food was an 11/10 and the ambiance was perfect. I would absolutely recommend to anyone. A stellar night! 🙌🏻
