Excellent friendly staff. They bend over backwards to make sure your needs are met. We had a birthday celebration at our table. We arrived to find it tastefully decorated with a birthday card. At dessert time, a generous plated cheesecake was brought out with a candle and birthday wishes etched in chocolate on the rectangular plate and two complimentary glasses of prosecco. The menu has a wide variety of food selections and sides, portions are generous and beautifully presented, and waitstaff is always there checking on your water glasses, satisfaction with the food, and if the steak is done cooked correctly to your liking, there will do it again and get it just as you wish. You cannot ask for a better overall experience dining out.

Food was delicious and while pricey, completely worth it. Ash, our server, was phenomenally attentive without being disruptive. We were allowed to take our time, order in waves, and enjoy the view of the waterfall. Cocktails were divine and well-made, and the entrees were generous without being ridiculous. The restaurant catered to our dietary needs without batting an eye, and not one bite was left to carry away.
