The food was spectacular. The service was outstanding. The only issue was the restaurant had no hand wipes or finger bowls to clean your hands after eating a seafood tower appetizer. With small bathrooms, hand washing was not easy to gain access to. At this price point you don’t expect your hands to be sticky and engulfed in a seafood smell for the duration of your meal after ordering a $113 appetizer. They were out of handi-wipes according to the server. That should not happen at a restaurant charging this much. Will I return? Absolutely, I just won’t order raw seafood appetizers.

Sat at the bar on Christmas Day and had a great experience! Melissa was our bartender and she was slammed! They were one of the few restaurants open on Christmas Day so it was packed AND during the chiefs game. She did an amazing job keeping our drinks full and was super friendly the entire time!
