The food is incredible, and the service is top notch. I couldn’t have had a better birthday dinner. I even received a birthday card with the day’s menu and a candle for the occasion, which were such nice touches. This restaurant focuses on the details. I had a wonderful time with my family.

Food was very good. More attentive service is needed. Several private parties- restaurant needs to staff accordingly when this occurs. We felt neglected at times. Early in the evening ran out of items.
