Had a reservation and seated immediately. Ask for large table and received what I requested. Food was delicious, good variety. Cocktails were also delicious. Our waiter, Brian was great- polite, attentive, informative, place was busy but service was excellent. The ambience is outstanding- such cool and lavish decor. Loved that manager came over to speak and talk to customers at each table.
