    You need to be aware that the restaurant’s $50/person deposit is actually a guaranteed spend on food and drinks. We spent about $90, but were charged $150 + tax and tip. They say that in the fine print, but you really have to be looking for it. The restaurant is also incredibly loud. The music is night club level volume. The food was tasty but I would not go back or recommend it.

    I rank the restaurant with four stars. Some of the things I try I believe was overpriced. I asked for lamb chops to be medium well they came out well done

    The lobster bites are absolutely amazing! Our waitress was so warm and friendly, making the experience even better. The music and vibrant atmosphere create an irresistible urge to stay longer! And that Margarita tower? It was fantastic!
