    Everything was great and we were in a table in the back nook which was great for catching up with friends because it was quieter. Will request that table again. Loved the cod dish and the wonderful service!

    We had a wonderful experience for my boyfriend’s birthday. The waitress was honest and knowledgeable when we asked for his input while ordering steaks. I ordered the Kobe cap medium rare and it came out rare, but it was still delicious. Everything was amazing. We will Definitely be back.

    The food was excellent, everything we ordered was very good. If you want a cocktail off the menu they are good, otherwise stick to water. We went for brunch, ordered coffee which they had. Coffee is below average. We didn’t mind since the food was m very very good.

    Fantastic is a understatement for this restaurant. From the Great location to our incredible server (Miguel) who was beyond experienced in helping us decide what to order. The main feature of this restaurant is the amazing food. The Duck was delicious as was the Tuna appetizer. The warm cookie to end the meal was too amazing to express in words. I can not wait to go back.
