Such an excellent choice for date night dinner. The waiter brought a tasting of two wines so I could decide. She answered all of our meal requests questions. We were able to modify/sub items in the meal with no charge and everything down to the dessert was excellent. 10/10 experience.

Loud but the food and drinks were incredible. Service was wonderful. Be aware that the gratuity is already included. I’m particular about seating and all would be great. Would highly recommend!

Great lunch experience, with the only exception being the undercooked salmon. My dining partner requested well-done and she received it medium rare. It was a quick lunch and no time to return the fish. The server did take it off the bill, which was a solid move. Overall, an exceptional experience.
