My fiancé and I came here for date night and were certainly not disappointed! The food was great as always and the service was very fast. Our server Katie was very friendly and attentive and made our dining experience even better. Definitely would recommend this particular location in South Florida. It has a more downtown city vibe that was exactly what we were looking for. Will be coming back!

Not only was the food absolutely delicious, but the service was truly exceptional. The manager, server, and staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable. We chose to dine outside on a cool South Florida evening, and they made sure we were cozy. They provided a tall outdoor heater, which the server adjusted multiple times to ensure it was just right. When we jokingly mentioned blankets, they surprised us by bringing actual blankets and even a space heater for our feet! It was such a thoughtful touch. Outstanding experience from start to finish!
