Below average food and s’mores for the price. The server also kept leaving without fully listening to us. Terrible experience, truly a waste of money.

I reserved a table for my husband’s birthday and clearly mentioned the occasion in advance, but the restaurant made no effort at all to make it special. We were given poor seating, waited almost 20 minutes just to get a menu, and no one checked on us.

Because it was his birthday, I had to personally walk around the restaurant to find a better spot and ended up seating ourselves in a nicely decorated area—something the staff should have handled proactively.

The worst part was a serious violation of privacy. Someone took our photos and later returned with printed copies without my consent. When I asked for them, I was forced to pay the full amount or leave them behind. This was extremely uncomfortable and unacceptable.

Overall, very disappointing service and a ruined special occasion. Would not recommend for celebrations.

The decor of this place is top-notch. It had been years since the last time I was there.

The crowd was interesting. Seemed very young. It was also New Year's Eve, in the early evening. The atmosphere seemed different than what I remembered. But I'd definitely go back.

Their version of the bang-bang shrimp is superb; the drinks were really good; but the short ribs were fatty.

I visited during the holidays and the decorations were so fun! Each room had a special theme. Food was good too.

Food was good. Place is nicely decorated for a unique experience. Prices are a bit high but maybe comparable to similiar places. Service was terrific.

Horrible experience. Waited 2 hours for our food. It wasn’t even busy in there. The food finally came and was bland and small portioned. We had 2 drinks and 2 entrees, they added multiple fees & our bill was $180. Do not waste your money or time.

Nice holiday decorations makes the ambience feel festive. Food was good; the s'mores board and hot chocolate served beautifully.

Let me first say, we were there celebrating both my husband and I birthday and the arrival of our baby boy coming in April. We were greeted and seated promptly. Took about 20 minutes to get drinks ordered besides water. We ordered the smoked brisket dip. It looked like it wasn't prepared right and the dip had “broke”, meaning the fat separated from the oils. It was SUPER greasy. There was no brisket pieces in the dip we could find. It tasted good though. My husband ordered the lobster bisque and again, subpar. It tasted more like cream of crab than lobster and no lobster pieces in it. We then ordered the lamb shank and braised short rib. Both were good. Throughout our evening service was slow for drinks and food. My husband ordered an espresso martini and it came in a wine glass. Maybe I'm being nit-picky but when other tables have the correct martini glass it just looks bad and misrepresented. When we were ready to leave, we waited almost 30 minutes for the check. We asked several times for it too. Not once was our celebrations acknowledged. I'm not asking for a loud singing of happy birthday or congratulations. A simple gesture would have been enough. As a former F&B server I understand how things should operate and it felt like there was no management or leadership. I hope it was just a bad experience, but we will not be going back for an almost $200 meal. The best part about the place was the Christmas decor.

Great restaurant! The cocktails are delicious and the ambiance is phenomenal. Also, really friendly staff and a great GM TK -- all in all a 10/10 for ambiance.

This was by far the best experience I had in a long time. Everything was on point. From the time we went in until the time we left, everything was amazing. The ambiance… I was literally speechless. I give it 10 stars. My daughters love the s’mores. We loved it, a good way to bring in the new year🥰👏🏽

Decoration: Perfect

Food: Very disappointing — Panda Express is honestly three times better

Drinks: The martini was okay, but the hot chocolate was absolutely terrible

Service: Extremely slow. Our waitress didn’t check on us even once to see if everything was okay or if we needed anything

Price: A mandatory service fee is automatically included in the bill, separate from the tip

Absolutely, perfect place to spend New Year's Eve! The service, the food, the decorations, the energy were exactly what we were looking for!

Everything was great. We had reservations got 13 but it was actually 15 they were accommodating. Service was good, food was good, ambience was very pretty. We enjoyed the night. Thank you

I am not sure how this place has such good reviews. Other than the decor, everything was bad here. Unnecessarily overpriced.
