   The food and cooking/show was great. The chef was entertaining and talented. The service was slow and inattentive.

   We always enjoy ourselves when we dine at your restaurant. In addition to our excellent chef, Joshua, we were well taken care of during the reservation process. Your representative, Daniel, helped us change our original reservation when a family emergency occurred. He also welcomed us when we arrived. Thank you for the great experience!

   Made I reservation for 10 people on a Friday night at 7:30. When we arrived we were asked to wait in the lobby for 10 minutes. We were not seated until 8:10. They should not have taken more reservations if they could not seat the parties at the time of the reservation. I kept checking with the front desk and they couldn’t give me any information on how much longer we would wait. Waiting 40 minutes for a reserved table is ridiculous.

   Victor was our chef and Joshua was our server. Victor of course was an awesome cook. He was attentive even when our server was not around and prepared and seasoned the food very well. Victor put on a wonderful show and he even had jokes!

   Waited 45 minutes for our table with reservation, and another 30 for any food, but once the chef arrived the food and service were great.

    We had Marvin as our chef and he was the best. Our food was seasoned to perfection, normally the chefs lack on seasoning but he was on point. I highly recommend asking for him!!
