    Outstanding service, delicious choices for dinner and a great experience for our family. We enjoyed the grouper, scallops and bavette with several exceptional sides. Our server Matt is always the best, taking excellent care of our needs. The Restuarant is beautifully decorated and the ambiance exceeds expectation. One must remember you are paying for excellent food and service.

    Good overall, I got the curry salmon and I really loved it. Cool set up and decor, DJ was entertaining the entire room. Unfortunately my reservation wasn’t showed at the restaurant - even I had it on my open table app and showed it to the hostess - and the hostess wasn’t very cooperative to find us a table. I had to sit ourselves patiently to the bar and finally ordered from there. She didn’t come even to me to apologize. We were grateful though that some guests moved to get to sit together at the bar for dinner. Good side was Michael the Barman, he was amazing and very helpful! Excellent service with him. We had a great time. Thank you :)

    Wonderful dinner where the experience held up to the great reviews. Ordered the pasta Bolognese and the Rigatoni entree, both were delicious. Pricing for meals were reasonable, cannot say the same for the wine at $20 for a 9 oz pour. Beer at $8 was fine and even better during happy hour at half price. Highly recommend the food, skip the wine.
