    The service & attention to detail was phenomenal. Food was superb and atmosphere was great, although the noise level was a lot. Difficult to carry on a conversation. I felt like a VIP

    We had a great dinner. Our server was attentive without the 4 of us feeling rushed. If you make reservations, request a table by the windows. We were treated to a gorgeous sunset, then had a wonderful dinner.
