    Ryan our server was amazing and very accommodating. We didn’t expect them to have much for vegan options but he tried his best to make things work for us and also made sure we had a pleasurable and comfortable experience on a colder night. He was amazing and everything was great.

    Came in after work to enjoy some appetizers and cocktails. We ordered a few items but my favorites were the ceviche and lobster fundido. I enjoyed sipping on the Strawberry 75! Ended it off with a chocolate torte, which was amazing! The ambiance is wonderful. Watching the sunset and as it gets dark the lights and fire pits turn on. The menu and starry night vibes are a great touch. The bar is beautiful and it’s nice they do have tvs for games and such. Little spendy, especially for the area but it was a nice treat for a little birthday celebration.

    We went for the New Years Eve dinner, which had a set menu, 4-course meal. Our server was nice, but the food had way too much salt. The soup, lobster bisque, had nice pieces of lobster in it, but all we could taste was the salt. The salad with roasted fruit looked colorful but was overwhelmed with salt. The sirloin steak was tough, had no seasoning, just way too much salt. The event was advertised as having a band and a DJ. There was no band. The DJ didn't have interaction with guests, he was just off to the side of the bar doing his own thing, mostly techno-beat, thump, thump, thump for hours.

    Experience is over valued for 3 course meal. There are much better options available for the cost.
