    Had an amazing time celebrating our 2 year anniversary. We showed up with rose pedals on the table and an anniversary card. Food was out of this world. I highly recommend to everyone.

    Great birthday dinner venue. Steaks and seafood are high quality and were cooked to perfection. Our server, Kyle, was attentive and fun. Lively crowd, good cocktails and delicious food make for a great night.

    One of my favorites, but unfortunately has lost its luster. Service was not bad, steak was not done as requested and a new one was delivered to the proper temperature, but the general attitude towards service was missing charm. Noisy location due to home baseball game which added to the rowdiness…..not on my list for a return trip anytime soon

    The food is outstanding! The appetizers are innovative and delicious, and the cut of steak was quite honestly the best and most tender I’ve had in as long as I can remember!

    Food was cold, undercooked but the service was great. Our server was very attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. He was also attentive to return to our table to check on us. The food disappointed me and the ribeye lacked flavor.
