    A Fantastic Celebration for a Hero! What a wonderful evening! From start to finish, this thank-you dinner was pure joy. We arrived early and were immediately welcomed with friendly smiles and our choice of tables. Then came Deena – our amazing server who knew the menu and made us feel like VIPs. She took excellent care of us throughout the entire meal, timing each course perfectly, with great energy and a warm-hearted smile. The food? Absolutely delicious! Every bite was a treat, from the first course all the way through to the sweet desserts that topped off our celebration. This was exactly what my hero deserved – a five-star experience filled with great service, incredible food, and special touches that made the whole evening magical!

    Came in with a last min reservation for a random date night on a Monday at 7:15pm. Quickly seated in the exact booth we hoped for. Waiter was polite, food was quick and delicious. Ribeye was cooked to perfection we really enjoyed the chimichurri sauce that came with it, lobster Mac wasn’t too fishy, Roka salad was super tastey a must try IMO, potatoes were fine. We did not order and cocktails or dessert but definitely will next time! 10/10 for this meal!

    Blind Butcher was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between laid-back and upscale, and every detail feels intentional. The food? Absolutely incredible—every dish was rich in flavor and beautifully presented. But what truly made the night special was the staff. They were warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. It felt less like a dinner out and more like being hosted by friends who just happen to be phenomenal chefs and servers. Can’t wait to come back!
