Great decorative place in excellent location. Plenty of parking on a Saturday as that area is not too busy. Menu as expected with great cocktails and food was great too. Service could have been better due to very low amount of people dining but was adequate I guess. Definitely worth coming back.

I was actually there for a private event with Rove Brand and a gentleman named Marino/Moreno was outstanding. He made sure I was filled with water and hors d’oeuvres throughout the night and the hospitality was amazing. Thank you so much!

Absolutely great service with our waiter being very attentive. The food was great and the ambiance was just perfect for our date night. We even had the GM personally boxed our leftover food without us even asking. Definitely returning soon.
