    Had a fantastic experience at this place! First the manager Cesar came by and told us happy new year and let us know he’s available if we have any concerns we asked him for recommendations and he told us to split the bone in rib-eye and a big lobster, was a great portion for 2 people, the server recommended some sides and we went with her dessert for recommendation of the Grenache which was killer!!!! At the end John stopped by who is the new GM asking about our experience and thank us for dining in, absolutely fantastic time

    The food was amazing and the ambiance was perfect for a date night, but what really stood out was the attentiveness and professionalism that came with our server Shannon. She is what really made a difference in our experience at this restaurant. She asked if this was our first time and then proceeded to take her time going through the whole menu (drinks menu as well) and knew it like she made it herself. I never felt rushed and always looked after. I don’t do reviews usually but after coming across her I felt like this was the least I could do. She deserves her credit for sure.
