We were delayed due to a snowstorm and called several times. Our table was held and we were graciously met and seated at a beautiful table in the corner of the lovely lounge area. Mellisa our server knew the menu inside and out and had a wonderful personality! Just a fabulous experience. Thank you. Your hospitality made waiting for our daughter’s delayed fight a lovely experience. ♥️🎄♥️

We were a group of 8, and it was a fun evening. We sat upstairs, which made our boisterous conversation easy to follow as we each sampled a variety of delicious dishes. The tuna tartar and the yuca fries as appetizers were a hit, as were the shorty mash and lamb chops for entrees. The meal was capped with crème brûlée. Leena was super friendly and attentive, and I look forward to a return visit!
