    I dined here on Thursday night. They had a very small amount of diners in the restaurant, mostly sitting around the bar. They had live entertainment / two singers. They were so loud that I had to shout at my companion sitting across from me in order for him to hear me. I could only hear half of what he said. It ruined the whole experience. I will never go back again. The food although good was nothing to shout about.

    First time there. Ordered apps which weren’t great and the pizza wasn’t great . Not many options for pizza. One of the people in our party never got her dinner. Very hesitant to go back but the music was great and we might give it a second chance and not order apps.

    Drinks and Food were excellent. Everyone at the table raved about their meals. Our server was very attentive and addressed all our needs. So nice listening to music while dining too. Not many of these places around. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be back real soon.

    Ileana was our waitress and she was wonderful. In terms of ambiance, the restaurant has changed. The lights are up as bright as a stadium. So, although the music is outstanding, the environment is not cozy. They used to have a hostess (Ksthy) that was very attentive to all the details, but now they have a manager who is never seen by the customers, and does not pay attention to detail. Although, the place has incredible potential, it has not yet reached it. Overall, I am hoping for the best.

    food was excellent. Service was also excellent. The noise level from the live "music" was intolerable. We most likely will not be returning to this restaurant on a night with this kind of disturbance. Too bad, because we really enjoyed our meals.

    Fabulous restaurant. There were 3 of us. The filet mignon was better than most famous steakhouses. My dinner was ok. Had a special. And the lobster ravioli was delicious as well. The band that was playing was phenomenal! Service was wonderful. Thank you for a great dinner!
