    Alenxander was an amazing server, and we appreciate how attentive he was. The atmosphere was pleasant, and we enjoyed our food. The filet seems a bit overpriced, but we enjoyed our food overall.

    The only thing I would change about our dinner. When the chocolate gateau was served it served with a side plate for each of us. Unfortunately the plates were really warm. They must have come directly from the dishwasher to the table. Since the dessert is served with gelato, a warm plate seemed out of place. This small gaffe notwithstanding, the entire experience was outstanding. Our food was full of flavor, the room was full of life, and service was spot on.

    Lemon Drop Martini’s are a MUST HAVE! Oysters are amazing! Burgers are top notch! We love the ambience, but Christmas was definitely HOPPING, so the noise level was a little more than normal, but it was a festive and fun, so not loud in a bad way. Great place anytime, but highly recommend for special occasions. Love the Lakewood location.
