We sat at the chefs table, this was our first time there. Everything was spot on as far as getting us sat, our food and drinks delivered. For an early Sat night dinner, the restaurant was packed. You can see it thrives because the entire team works as one. The owners have invested their expertise to insure their restaurant is a success. We will with out a doubt go back.
I’m pretty sure there’s not a bad or even mediocre dish in the house! I’m not the biggest fan of seafood and the Ahi Tuna was very good! You absolutely have to have the dates and if you’re in the mood for a big juicy steak, GET THE RIBEYE! The staff here is amazing. Attentive, light hearted, and engaging. I happen to be a problem child (Gluten Sensitive) and they ensure you have no issues and nothing to worry about. This was our first visit and we will definitely be returning!...
We made a reservation at 11AM and were seated right away. It was my first time here, and I have to say, the place is cozy with near fine-dining vibes.. I loved it! Our server (unfortunately I didn’t catch his name) was very attentive throughout our meal, and I’m truly thankful for that level of service.
