Was a regular. However they have now botched two special celebrations for me. Tonight, they decided to give my reserved seats to other people and we were treated like second class citizens. I guess they taught me a lesson - untrustworthy…..

If you want a unique dining experience this is the place to go. The wait staff and servers they were all on point very attentive I never had to look around to look for anyone if I raised my head somebody was right at my table to find out what I needed or how they could serve me. Awesome awesome experience wonderful food. I will be back!
