For a first visit...I could have and almost did, go somewhere else. Showed up for a reserved dinner, just to be held outside and informed that they have a private party later on and basically, I have 30 to 40 min tops or I could pay $40 to stay past the time..like wtf. That should have been stated when reservations were set for 8pm
Yea...wont be making any referrals anytime soon.
Also, Im big on tipping. They must not have patrons that do so. 2 drinks were over $50...(rum...read full review

I gave 3 because I compared it to when they first opened. When they first opened, my rating was 5. I feel like they haven't grown but rather gone down since they first opened. But then again, I'm giving them grace as the restaurant industry is challenging for new entrants. I will keep going there to support their growth.
My experience was extremely fantastic !
