The food, service and atmosphere were all perfect. The staff was so attentive and went out of there way to guide us thru our food journey. The food was incredible and we got to try several dishes we had never had before. This was a birthday dinner and at least 6 staff members wished me a happy birthday. It made for a perfect night. thanks!!!!

We had 4 happy hour food choices and 3 drinks and a menu salad and a Paella. All were delicious and much more than we could eat there (we took some home)! The service was so good and our wait staff and hosts were happy and upbeat! We had fun talking with them! The ambience with subdued lighting and real candles made for a simple elegance worthy of selfies and a comfortable meal table. We could actually talk and hear each other as we dined! The manager came to our table and she is a delight.
