So unfortunately we dined on a night in which there was a holiday party happening. Was out with friends, and we couldn’t hear each other. We had reservations and was seated 45 minutes after the reservation time. What was the point of reservations??? The food was good, but pricey for the serving size.

The food is way too expensive for what it is. Roasted pork, a paella and two drinks $239.00 seriously? On top of that, $123 for taxi back and forth. So, $362 dollar night for food I could have gotten in the city and could have eaten two days. But, Lesson learned…

I had the pleasure of booking a table for my stepfather's birthday, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! The valet parking made arriving a breeze. Our hostess seated us at a fantastic table near the entertainment, which set the mood perfectly. The wait staff were incredibly accommodating, allowing us to celebrate, dance, and even join in on the fun without feeling rushed. The food was outstanding—large portions for the entrees and mouthwatering appetizers that delighted everyone. The venue's thoughtful touches, like allowing us to cut our own cake and adding a firework candle, made the celebration even more memorable. The entire waitstaff gathered to wish my stepfather a happy birthday, adding to the special atmosphere. As our party grew, they provided extra chairs and made everyone feel welcome and valued. The ambiance was classy and elegant—upscale at its finest. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue for any birthday or celebration; the staff truly went above and beyond to make it unforgettable!
