    We had the best time! The service was phenomenal, and the food was absolutely incredible. There wasn’t a single thing our party got that wasn’t delicious. We went for my birthday and joked that our group wants to go for everyone’s birthday for the next 10 years. You won’t be disappointed!

    We were seated by the front door which was very cold but the hostess was kind and moved us to an interior table. Food was good. We received our food well before our first cocktails. The server seemed to forget them and another server noticed them brought our drinks. I think the decorations were festive and perfect! The chairs are tiny like a hotel banquet. We had one other hiccup with my drink but the same server resolved it. We enjoyed our experience over all. We will look out for the next event experience because I appreciate how they design the experience and you don’t have to think about anything, just enjoy.
