    The music was so loud we could barely hear each other. The hostess turned it down for us, which was nice. The food, service and restaurant ambiance was exceptional.

    Everything was wonderful from the moment we arrived! Friendly staff all around, the valet, hostesses, and servers. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. Our server Joe was attentive but did not rush us, and it was a busy Saturday evening. Cocktails, entrees, and dessert all fabulous! Fun 70s music provided a lively vibe. Can’t wait to return!

    Great place! Loved the food and the service was great. On the reviews, people complained about the music level. I didn't mind it at all. I could still hear my husband, no problem. The tunes they were playing were great - Motown and disco - what's not to like?

    The service and food was good. One of our dishes came out wrong . Dinner was delayed but our server furnished us with shots of lemoncello. Dinner for two was over 200 with tip, we each had one cocktail

    Late lunch with friends was perfect. Not busy at all. Very attentive service from both our server and the hostess. Both very friendly and helpful. We all had salads which are entree size, easily could have split them. Very fresh and tasty. Will be back for dinner next time!
