    The venue was beautiful and the servers were nice enough. The food was fine but nothing remarkable. I went with two others and we were celebrating her Bachelorette. I wrote it on the reservation notes but nothing was done to make her night special. I'm a bit disappointed in that and the food.

    The ambience was great, the service was amazing, servers and bussers were all very attentive, nice and helpful. The food was amazing and tasted so fresh, and the drinks were strong and delicious. My fiance and I came for an early valentines dinner and we will be returning for sure.

    We had a reservation at 8pm and didn’t get seated until 8:40 meanwhile a ton of other people were being seat after us. We also waited over an hour for our food to come and it was cold. It’s over priced and just too loud i can’t even have a conversation.

    Not worth it. We were seated over 45mins after our reservation. Hostesses were super rude. Stick to coming here during the week or not at all.
