    The food and our waitress were outstanding. In addition, Hannah, the hostess was most gracious to recommend parking areas and arranging a nice seat for my first date with this lady.Overall, it was a great experience!

    Waitstaff only positive thing. We made reservations a week plus in advance. Taken upstairs to the table right in the upstairs bar. Windows on one side wall on the other a bunch of Christmas party dr*nks. Nor returning. Downstairs was like a Restuarant, upstairs more party place.

    I had smoked salmon wrapped mahi mahi. It was delicious! We went for the Christmas themed atmosphere, and lived it! The decorations were so festive! I ordered a Winter wonderland martini, but changed the white chocolate to chocolate liqueur. Perfection! Our waitress was polite and prompt. Our food was delivered hot and quick.
