    Enjoyed the Brazilian style dinner for Valentine’s day. Waited just a few minutes after my reservation time and was seated. Food was exceptional. Enjoyed a 2.5 hour dining experience. Servers ensured we always received the desired meat choices. Was never rushed to turn over the table. Will definitely come back.

    Valentine's Day Early dinner. Greeted Quickly and Happily at door. Seated promptly and wait staff was there in a flash!!! Ample time and consideration given to us to choose drinks, appetizers and entrées. Food brought to table as desires. Wait staff was AWESOME!!! Valentine's Day drink menu was very nice I had the Blush and Bubbles and the Campfire Kiss, while my husband had a Savannah River Belgian beer. We had the calamari and the Szechuan green beans for appetizers. I had the General Bob's Chicken and my husband had the Coconut Curry with Tofu. For dessert we shared a the Yuzu Peach Cobbler!!! An AWESOME Way to Celebrate Love!!!
