When we walked in you felt like you were in Vegas or something. Very pretty. Set up uniquely and we enjoyed it. They had a girl performing with fire. That was pretty cool. The food was wonderful. The only thing that was not so good is the service. Our waiter was super nice and informative but took forever to refill drinks and get our check at the end. Other than that a great place.

Food extremely interesting and extremely tasty with great flavors. Decor very unique annd lovely, unlike anything else in town. Having a female fire-juggler (and more) for entertainment was an interesting touch. Server, Kelsie was great.

All the mezze plates are really delicious. Seafood cooked to perfection as well as the steak entrees. Service is professional and courteous. Great date night or family & friends get together spot. Plenty of room to accommodate. Lovely decor and atomosphere.

We had a Teal Deal for this place otherwise I would have never known it existed. It’s tucked back behind Maa Kitchen off Baymeadows. This is such an amazing place. It feels very sophisticated but also welcoming. We enjoyed several shareables and each dish was delicious. There was a fire breather for entertainment and several birthdays that night. They bring cold sparklers to the table. It’s not an everyday dining restaurant but we are definitely returning for our next celebration.

Food was great. Service was amazing. Atmosphere was amazing. We loved the fire dancing lady. I would give a 5 if the portions were bigger for the price.

Delicious but a bit pricey. Beautiful decor great for a date or romantic evening as well as with friends or family. Wouldn’t recommend for small children. Had a very interesting drink menu. Food was delicious and the drink menu very enticing. They have bruschetta with the whipped feta that was absolutely delicious. I ended up ordering two. Also, the Mezzy plates, we tried two, were equally delicious. The hanger steak was cooked perfection. We’ll definitely go back, especially since we have a coupon. Gotta try that drink menu next time.

Ambiance was gorgeous, but the food was extremely bland. We tried several dishes, and each one was muted in flavor due to lack of seasoning. It was extremely disappointing. Hopefully, once they get their footing, the food will be better.
