We had an amazing experience for my birthday dinner! They had prepared our table with a beautiful place setting for my birthday and went above and beyond with adding a birthday message on my menu. From beginning to end, the service was great and they were so friendly. Our waiter was excellent and had great food and drink recommendations. The ambience was beautiful and felt intimate yet lively. There was a saxophonist there playing music and singing and he was great. It was really an experience to remember. We will be back.
