    My experience there was not the best it was an empty restaurant. They sat me and my wife back at the kitchen near the restroom. The food came out cold. I ordered the porterhouse steak. It came out with no bone already chopped up for me. It was a really bad experience.

    We had a wonderful night. From the moment we arrived the hostess was friendly and helpful. Our waitress Selena was attentive and nice. The cocktails and food were delicious and the ambiance is fabulous. The music is lively..a bit too loud for me..but not bad enough to obstruct conversation. I will be back with my hubby.

    The food was good, and the ambience was excellent, creating a pleasant dining experience. Initially, the service was great, but it quickly declined after our waitress was moved to another section. We experienced very long waits for food, drinks, and even the bill. Some drinks we ordered never arrived, which was disappointing . While the atmosphere and food were enjoyable, the inconsistent service left much to be desired. What was meant to be a special occasion ended in a disappointing dinning experience.

    Our server, Christian, was excellent and the cocktails were good. I’d skip the seafood tower, as it was overpriced and lacking variety (the shrimp and crab claws were tasty though). We had a filet, mashed potatoes and asparagus, all were delicious and the carrot cake was phenomenal!
