I was there last night to celebrate my BF's birthday, They truly made him feel special. The host was very nice, and our server, Jeff, was attentive. We were delighted with his service. Food was delicious, from the warm bread to the salad and the perfectly cooked steak. The smooth music and the lighting were such a vibe. I will definitely be coming back.

I do hate how close the tables are together. We can hear everyone’s conversation so we asked to be moved and they moved us. But also good food and service.
