First time dining here, definitely will be back again! The service was top notch, cocktails and food were outstanding and the ambience was beautiful. The entire restaurant is currently decorated for the Holiday season, each room different. We had crab cake, lentil coconut soup, monkfish and rib eye. Everything was made to perfection!

Food was very good. Server was attentive but lacked personality. Good vibe but very noisy even before the 2 man band. We love this place though. You won’t be disappointed.
