    Came here for a rare night out with my husband and thoroughly enjoyed it! Arrived a bit early for our reservation and had a drink at the bar while waiting for our table. The ambiance was nice; dim without being overly dark and the noise was moderate despite a fully packed bar area and dining room. Food was superb…we ordered the coconut shrimp (not my favorite, but my husband loved it), spicy tuna roll (excellent), the ribeye and the roasted chicken were equally delicious. I think my favorite aspect of our visit was the service. Friendly and attentive from the moment we walked in, especially considering it was a busy holiday weekend. Can’t wait to return!

    We came here for Valentine’s Day and it was amazing. Great lighting for a romantic evening. Our server was Jennifer. She was attentive patient with explaining the menu and introduced us to the manager and owner Ali and Ali. We had a five course dinner. And we had wine pairing for each of the courses. Wife was excited, surprised and loved everything. I highly recommend for a celebration or a perfect night out with your loved one.

    I ordered the Denver Roast and it was much better than expected. The roast was tender and seasoned to perfection. The mashed potatoes and carrots were delicious as well. The Tres Leches for dessert was 10/10. For my first cocktail I ordered a lemon drop. I drank it but it was not to my liking so for my second cocktail I ordered a pomegranate mule. I drank that one as well but would not order either of them again.
