We’ve dined here numerous times and every time is equally great! I strongly encourage first time diners to make reservations early. It’s a happening spot!! If I had to share a negative, it’s that my old ringing ears aren’t a fan of the elevated noise level but I can appreciate the energy. It certainly won’t prevent us from coming back!

This restaurant was a recommendation from a manager of another upscale establishment in the area. The food was excellent, beautifully prepared, the environment was fun and festive. Live music(!), what a treat for two out of town visitors. This is not a place for a quiet meal, but if you want a lively, fun, delicious experience, this is it. Try something new, go for it! Also, they made you feel welcome here. How often does that happen. My only regret was not trying one of their rum drinks. Don't be me.
