Filet sliders were fabulous for Happy Hour along with the lamb lollipops, oysters and lobster sticks. Kari our server was the best, she was quick and mixed the best drinks. We can't wait to go back there again.

The best service I have had in a long time in any restaurant. From the hostess switching out the white napkins to black ones because we were wearing black. My date didn’t even notice until I pointed it out to her. Service was great throughout the night. The food was delicious as well. What more could we ask for?
