    Went for Dinner on a Saturday night. The complimentary Valet was a huge help as we could not find street parking and was so kind and opened my door for me. I am definitely glad I made a reservation in advance as all tables were full and the bar was packed! Erin was our server and she was great! Very nice and attentive even during the dinner rush. The Seafood Scampi had nice amount of lobster, scallops and shrimp and was seasoned well. The Filet was cooked perfectly and the mashed potatoes were delicious. To top off the evening I ordered an espresso martini that was smooth and creamy. 10/10 would return for another meal.

    The restaurant was full but it didn’t feel crowded. Had a nice feel to it. Service was on point. Our server even suggested another sauce for my meal which was cooked to perfection.
