    The food tonight was outstanding. Our meal was enhanced by our knowledgeable server Kurt? (6’3” football player) He guided us through the menu with recommendations that were spot on and helped me with my Celiac gluten free needs. The bus service was absolutely incredible. My water glass was never empty and our table was serviced so seamlessly by the bus team. I thought the food might suffer a little tonight because it was Valentine’s weekend, but it was superb. My only complaint would be too many tables with people cutting through our table all night but I understand the restaurant needed to accommodate as many people as possible.

    All around everything was amazing. It was easy to book a reservation on open table . Did it an hour before we left to restaurant. Everybody was very polite and personable from the person seating us to our table to our waitress and all the Busing staff. The FOOD was delicious!! I thought the prices were going to be higher for the steaks, it was nyc prices. I did think the drinks were a bit $$ so 1 drink was enough unfortunately. Overall I would recommend.
