    Espresso martini was amazing as always. Had the milanesa this time around and it was to die for. Our server, Micaiah, was great as always- we will be requesting him from now on! Definitely recommend for date night, the ambiance is beautiful.

    Awesome experience celebrating our anniversary with friends. We do wish they did the dancing in the evenings after 11:00pm still but overall it was still a great time! The food was good, the atmosphere was exciting, and the drinks were good. We had a great time!
