    With reservations, we waited less than 5 minutes. We were lucky to get Monalisa as our waitress as she was amazingly fast and helpful, and our Chef Luis was so fun and was joking around with everyone at the table, but especially with my son. It was a great experience that was significantly different than our experience on Valentines Day. This was a huge turn around from that and it was such a much nicer time. This was definitely the kind of experience we hope we will always get every visit.

    This place offers incredible food and a quiet ambiance with tables spread out, making it feel very comfortable. It’s hands-down one of the best places to get a steak in town.

    The menu is equally strong on both the usual suspects and innovative dishes. Nothing disappointed. I especially loved the 5-piece jalapeno sashimi. Full bar. All staff were efficient, helpful, and kind.
