    It was going back in time. Loved the atmosphere. Food was excellent and the service was good. Only downside was the noise level was somewhat loud. Overall a very pleasing experience. I will be going back.

    Not prepared for Valentines Day. Way overbooked. We were put in some upstairs overflow area overlooking the liquor store. Not very romantic. Took a while to even set the tables. We left without ordering. Very disappointing.

    Very busy on Valentine’s Day, but they handled it well! We waited at the bar and had a drink before our table was ready. We sat upstairs where it was quiet and very pretty! Great service, delicious food (we had the surf & turf special), and took our dessert home as the food portion was quite large. Also, Shray in the liquor store portion of the establishment was very knowledgeable and so kind. Looking forward to our next visit!

    We're delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience on Valentine's Day! We know it was a busy night, and we're glad our team handled it well. It's fantastic that you enjoyed the upstairs ambiance, the surf & turf special, and Shray's assistance. We can't wait to welcome you back!"

    The overall experience was great. We went for Valentine’s Day dinner. At first we felt the staff was overwhelmed and could not seat us though we had reserved in advance. We found a table ourselves and got seated. But the service was great after that. The food was delicious and the dessert was awesome!
