     Our server was not attentive. She brought us crab legs instead of shrimp. Everyone at the table confirmed that I ordered shrimp and then she questioned me that I ordered crab. I ordered french fries as an appetizer and she completely forgot those , then when our steak arrived, It was asked to be cooked medium, and it was somewhere between rare and medium rare and she questioned me and said that’s medium and I know what a medium steak should look like it was completely red. I don’t feel as if I should be questioned when my steak is not cooked enough.

    Perfection and excellence in preparing incredible meals with 5 star ingredients and master chef skills. It was a wonderful experience our server was efficient and highly personable suggesting off the menu items and bringing us wine tastings prior to us ordering, will definitely make it a point to dine here more frequent!

    The food & service is excellent. Hard to hear the server explain the menu because the music is too loud.
