Food and experience were both excellent. The only reason I give it a 4 instead of a 5 is that somehow my request for a chocolate fondue was missed. I thought I had ordered it but the restaurant had no record of it. It was disappointing to not have desert. But everything else was excellent!

Awesome atmosphere and appropriate level of attentiveness. The service paid attention to our needs even though it was a pretty busy night. The food was excellent. The drink options were great. The music matched the setting and was thoughtfully selected. We were very pleased with the complete experience.

I made reservations a few days in advance. When we got there we were placed at a high top table that was wedged between two families. While the food was very, the table location was not. Who puts two adults in between two large families? The table we sat at was also right next to the door that waiters would walk out/in to service the igloos outside; so we would get blasted with a burst of coldness while eating dinner. Oh, and I can’t forget how wobbly the table was smh you couldn’t even move an inch without the whole table shaking. I’m disappointed because I made these reservations a few days in advance in hopes that something like this wouldn’t happen for our date night. Oh well, guess planning a head isn’t worth it.

We had a party of 6 that turned into a party of 7 and the host / hostess team was very accommodating. 5/7 of us really enjoyed our meals. The goat cheese ball and Brussels sprout appetizers were fantastic! The steak tips and shrimp were done a little too well. I love this place in the summer as it has a cool fresh air vibe!

Three of us dinerd here. Excellent, creative cocktails Shared apps of Cubano pull aparts and roasted broccoli- both interesting and delicious, I had the Japanese fried chicken sandwich which was excellent. FF were coated, an upgrade over what most places serve. Burgers were great and cooked to order. Rachel, our server, was attentive and professional. We enjoyed our meal here.
