    One of the best meals I’ve had in months. The rose petals on the white tablecloth were a lovely touch.

    Service was great! Ambience was good and quiet. I enjoyed the cocktail list especially the Basil Lemonade one! Food was ok, though I wish the table next to us didn’t order the exact same thing bc I saw how much better theirs was. lol. Changing of shifts maybe but my steak was flat, asparagus was skinny and limp but overall not the worst, my neighbors steak looked amazing and the veg was fresh. The dessert- excellent! Crème brûlée for the win.

    Stephen R was an excellent server and made it a great dining experience. The food was delicious, but the peanut butter mousse was too firm for my liking. I like it more soft and light. We have been going there for years and will be back again.

    We decided to sit at the bar even though I had made a reservation for a table in the dining room. She was very professional friendly and she made the whole dining experience enjoyable.
