We had an amazing night! The service is great, and the ambiance is cozy. It's a good mixture of high-end as well as a neutral environment. We went for my husband's birthday, I made a reservation and asked for a nice place to sit in the comments on the reservation. They sat us right next to the fire away from everyone. It was literally perfect. The drinks were good, the food was great, and the free desert was delicious! This was our 2nd time going, and we will absolutely be back.
