    Vibes were there! It was so pretty and classy and cute. everything was great except the steak. Maybe I’m a steak critic but I felt like all i could taste was the char on the steak which really ruined it for me. I never reach for salt at the restaurant and the amount of times i salted the steak was insane. It seemed to lack a marinade or seasoning blend. But besides that everything was fantastic, i plan on returning just maybe not the steak this time

    Outstanding food, especially the crispy octopus, and service in interesting surroundings. It was worth taking the extra time to view the art glass exhibits.

    Our visit was great. Initially was set as a birthday visit, turned engagement party when our AMAZING wait staff was the very best. Gage was training a new employee while watching him go through and give other tables the same energy we were given with the sudden proposal. The food was fantastic and was not too overly expensive. Great drinks, food and ambiance, definitely coming back here.
