    The service was professional and attentive. However, we were seated near the kitchen, where there was an unpleasant smell coming from the grease trap, which made for an uncomfortable dining experience. My lamb chops were overcooked, despite my request for them to be cooked medium well. I plan to visit the bar again, but I will not return for dinner. I've dined here four times, and the food has never been impressive.

    I had an AMAZING time! The atmosphere and vide were great. The food was good and although it was a busy night I didn’t feel rushed and I was able to enjoy my meal and drink. It was also a nice touch that the staff gave out single roses to all the ladies. A very special treat!

    From the time we entered, Colby greeted us and provided us with fanatical customer service. We will definitely return on our future outings. The food was great, the drinks were amazing, and the environment was a whole vibe; even on a rainy day!

    Great vibe and experience. Drinks are good and strong, but the food isn’t quite as good as it appears. I’d give it 7/10.

    Offered valet for $20. Great hosts at the door. Server had a terrible attitude hard to get drink service. I wouldn’t return especially when you can get the same food with better service elsewhere!!! Spent well over 250 and felt like a nuisance.
