We love this location! We come every Friday night and have never had a bad experience!! Our server and chefs are extraordinary; food is amazing, very high quality! We truly look forward to our experiences here and have come often for celebrations and family meals!!
It was not the experience I'm used to having. I still tipped $10 but I won't back for a while. The server was new 2nd day of work but her and the chef did not have chemistry or coordination to make it an enjoyable experience.
I always enjoy dinner there. Tons of food that last me for days. Chef was entertaining and magic (our server) was good. Poor thing was crazy busy but she did well.
