    Great place for special occasions. Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. Makes you feel fancy for one night, even if you're not. :) My only 2 complaints are that I wrote on the reservation that it was for our anniversary and for my bf birthday and yet they asked if this was for a special occasion before they gave us the bill. I was hoping if they did a dessert, it would have been a surprise, since I wrote it on the reservation. So that was a bit of a bummer that he knew it was coming at that point. Super awesome that they give you a free dessert though! Second complaint, since we put in a reservation, I thought we would have had a better table. We were right next to a servers stand which was incredibly busy with employees talking, walking past, dishes clanking. We had employees standing literally next to our table, butts towards us, chatting/standing, etc. Fine that they are chatting, we don't care about that at all! But to have them and their heinies that close to us and our food was quite annoying. And there was a very cold draft coming from the closed off sections that we were right next to. At one point they opened up the door to get another table from that area and it was freezing cold air flowing right at us! I had goosebumps the rest of dinner. Just wish we had a better table so we could be comfortable while we ate.

    What looked to be managing the area where we were seated began to rush me towards the end of our dinner, it became apparent that he wanted me and my family gone as he continued to walk past and ask “done?” every 10 minutes. The food and everything else was great but this person specifically made the meal insufferable at some point.
