Food was all amazing. Oleg our waiter was on top of our service all night. My wife and I were out on a date. At the end of the night Oleg asked my wife what her favorite color was. After she answered he said he would come back with a gift. He came back with a red rose. Was a really classy move. First time eating here and we will be back.
