    I had booked the dining room and when we got there early for a pre show dinner, there was not a person in the place and the hostess first sat us in the atrium at a tiny table and it was so hot. Hostess was very rude in general. We asked to be moved to the dining room which had a much nicer table but had weird hip hop type music blaring. I’m not sure what kind of vibe they are trying to put out, but it was strange. Drinks were eh- very sweet and not very strong. Dinner roll was delicious and big (definitely enough for 2 or 3), octopus was so so, not sure what was up with the potatoes but lacked flavor. The hanger steak was very tasty. Two servers we had were nice and attentive.

    Avevo alte aspettative su questo ristorante, avendo provato già altri suggeriti da OpenTable simili ma sono rimasta delusa. All ingresso ci hanno fatto accomodare dopo 15 minuti di attesa su delle sedie di fronte al guardaroba, nonostante avessimo prenotato. Non ci hanno dato il tavolo nella sala in stile jungle ma in un'altra sala molto caotica. Il cibo in piccole portioni, molto caro e per nulla gustoso. Il tortino a zucca immangiabile, un piatto sbagliato. Non ci tornerei.

    Group of 8 sat in the bar area. Happy Hour pricing until 7pm was great! Perfect spot for a larger group to catch up and unwind. Pretty Christmas decor and our server was great!

    We were a large group of 12, service was absolutely fabulous, food was delicious, drinks great, holiday decor was stunning and the ambience was festive and fun. My only not necessarily a complaint but an observation is while the food was fabulous there just wasn't enough, the seabass I ordered was heavenly, however it would have been perfect if something accompanied it, like a vegetable? The entire group agreed on this issue. Otherwise we loved it, didn't feel rushed, we were there for 3 hours. Spectacular.
