Great service. Friendly/attentive waiters with good recs. They always have interesting specials in depending on the night. Food was solid but not amazing, think some of it could use a bit of a punch up with more flavor. Good steaks and side sauces to go with them. Great bread too - the unsung hero of the night.

Very nice restaurant. The serving staff is friendly and polite. They need training by the management in order to go to the next level. Example: they wiped off my table between dishes but the table was left wet. I had the waiter bring a dry cloth to wipe the wet table.

A very nice space. The staff is not trained to give that quality that is needed in order to be a Five Star restaurant. Saying that it has the potential if the management team wants to invest in its staff. It is the management not the staff. They are young and don’t no what more to do if not taught.
