We had an absolutely fantastic dining experience..The steaks were cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Each bite was a delight! The cocktails were equally impressive! What truly made our evening unforgettable was our incredible server Sofia. Her attentiveness, knowledge, and warm smile elevated the entire experience. Sofia made sure every aspect of our dinner was perfect. This is easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional food, drinks, and service. We’ll definitely be back!
