    Every year my partner and I choose this restaurant as our anniversary dinner. The food is always amazing as well as the drinks. We love the clementine drink it is a must have if you go. The service is great and the mood of the place is always nice. It gets a little loud but I honestly don’t mind it. I would definitely recommend coming here, I know I’ll be back!

    We went late afternoon and it was nice and quiet. The server was excellent, but the drinks and food were over priced and a little "out there" for our taste. We had to send one of the drinks back. A little less weird cocktails would be nice, Ambience was great. It's hard to know what you're getting when you order a drink. Odd concoctions.
