    The service, ambience and food were all exquisite. My wife and I were 15 minutes late and they were able to accommodate us. Upon arrival we were greeted with friendly smiles and promptly seated. Our server was knowledgeable and down to earth. Speed of service relating to the food was adequate for the time of year (Valentines day weekend). Overall, we had a great time and will come back.

    The Valentine's 3-course meal was truly a delight. The Wagyu beef tart was a wonderful combination of flavors, and the Lobster bisque was a comforting, smooth treat for our first course. For the second course, the NY Stripe steak with peppercorn gravy was so satisfying and rich. For dessert, Hubs was completely enchanted by the chocolate mousse, bursting with chocolate goodness, while the Strawberry cream cake evoked such sweet memories, showcasing the most exquisite strawberry flavor. Our waitress was incredibly kind and attentive, always ensuring we had everything we needed, and the gentleman serving water was extremely thoughtful, refilling our drinks before we even had a chance to ask. It was a truly memorable experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend it—10 out of 10!

    Went for Valentines Dinner. Ambience is 5 stars. The staff are friendly and nice. The service was a little shaky with the servers or food runners forgetting or misplacing food orders. The appetizers and entree were ok, it was a pre fixe menu in anticipation of the high volume so that’s probably why it lacked that extra special touch. The fillet minon was cooked to perfection and came with broccolini and mushrooms. The dessert was disappointing, we ordered the tiramisu which was served late, but on a chocolate base but totally frozen inside. They had us try another lemon dessert and another strawberry one but they were all not convincing. I would love to give it another try when they are not as busy and order other items, but I’d give this experience a 3.8/5

    I can’t get enough of this place at all. Great food, Great environment, Great Everything. I will admit I went 2-13-25 and my food was amazing until I got my southern fried chicken and it was too salty. BUT, they brought out another fresh order quickly, and it was perfect. This place is literally perfect!
