Could not have had a better Valentine’s dinner experience. Service was incredibly accommodating and considerate. The food was full of flavor and unique. Playing and ambiance was beautiful and romantic. Can’t recommend this place enough. It feels like our hidden gem that we don’t want to keep secret. Go go go!
