    Our entire experience was amazing! We took our 3 teenagers and they all tried several foods they had never had before. The server was so kind to explain things to them and walk them through the menu. Service was amazing, the food was amazing, the open kitchen made it a more relaxed environment and so cool to watch the chefs. We had such a great night!

    Very cool upscale concept. Was decorated beautifully. The food was cooked to perfection. Loved the eggplant I highly recommend. Also ordered a tomahawk steak flavor was so good. One suggestion would be take crispy bits off the tomahawk. It’s presentation would be better. Would definitely return!
