    Don’t normally post reviews, but our dinner last night was outstanding. We sat at the kitchen counter, and got to see a team that were respectful of each other, and worked together to handle our night, as well as all their other guests in a coordinated way that made it look effortless. Everyone’s attention to detail was impressive. We appreciated the dialogue during our meal with Chef Robbie. Watching him cook was fantastic. Mr. “Z” , the restaurant groups manager was so personable and Trey our waiter was knowledgeable and great. We were celebrating our 41st anniversary, and everyone made our first visit a special night. We will absolutely be back and recommend to anyone. Thanks

    Food and drinks were amazing!! Highly recommend the tiger apricots and the How We Roll dish. I had the GBD cocktail. I loved every minute of it and how the drink constantly evolved. Staff was friendly, educated on the options, and how to order. Great place.

    Everything was great but the price. Loved the food and the setting, but the price was far more than that of comparable high end restaurants.
