    Went here for my 17th birthday, service is amazing and is a beautiful place. Steak was delicious, sides are a huge serving so i recommend deciding on a table shared side. My party of 3 could’ve easily shared one of any side. appetizer lobster voodoo was extremely different than your usual lobster, large serving. Best strawberry lemonade ever let me tell you! My chocolate cake came with a lit candle and was wished a happy birthday many times throughout the restaurant. Crème brûlée was the best me and my mom have ever had! overall, great place for a special occasion but probably just for an occasion.

    Great food, wine, and staff! The staff is knowledgeable and food absolutely delicious! I would recommend for any date night, but definitely a place to go when you have a special occasion (and make sure to let them know when you make your reservation).

    The service for ordering food and drinks was perfect. Our server was pleasant and accommodated dietary needs with a smile. All plates were delivered with excellent presentation and the right temperature. Getting until and paying took a bit longer than I expected but wasn’t excessive.
