    Great atmosphere for a date night! The jazz band really set the mood. This is the perfect place for a romantic dinner before a stage play. They could use extra staff seating people as there was a lineup even if you had reservations.

    Incredible service! I chose this place to propose to my now fiance, since it has such a beautiful booth. Heart (If I stand correctly) was a great host and made sure everything was just as planned. I brought a dessert with the ring in it for them to bring out, and they took amazing care of it. We went for brunch and had the pancakes and omelette, they were amazing! Very impressed by the service, personal care and hospitality from all the staff.
