Our experience was wonderful. Service was attentive, but not pushy. Our food was amazing! It was very cold when we first got in there, but they adjusted it. One of the best date nights we've had.

Beautiful restaurant with attentive service. However food was off. The steak on my steak salad was so tough I left most of it. Salad part was just ok. It had way too many crumbs. Garlic dressing was overwelhming I have had many good meals there but this was very disappointing

Food and service was good but the experience was a bit off. During the meal, the water we were being served started tasting funny and had a weird smell to it. We had to get the water replaced a few times before it was right again. Also, the staff made a big to-do about removing the plates from the table. It was disruptive and unnecessary. It's a beautiful restaurant with good food, though.
