Been here a few times. It's ok, not great. I'd suggest you check it out for yourself and decide. Would I recommend it, no. Would I say to stay away, no to that too. As I said, it's OK, and a bit overpriced for what you get.

The service was warm, responsive, and quite hospitable during this New Year’s Eve dining experience. The entrees the four of us ordered were delicious, more than ample, and presented perfectly. It was our first time to dine here, but it certainly won’t be our last! Thank you for a truly memorable dining experience.
