   Great variety on menu. The Poke bowls were wonderful. My hamburger was delicious and cooked exactly as I ordered it. The wait staff was attentive, informative and friendly. We’ve eaten there before and it is always consistently excellent. It’s a bit dark and we did need to use our phone “flashlights”. All in all, a very nice restaurant

   Had some family visiting from out of town - dinner went well. Everyone was happy with their food choices, and most of us brought home boxes. Seems like they've slimmed down the menu since the last time we were there (over a year ago), but there were still enough choices.

   We really enjoyed our meal tonight. The food and service were excellent. Only issue we had was the music was loud and it did make hearing each other a little hard. But everything else was perfect. We haven't been here in years and tonight had us wondering why not. We will be back.

   Our server Sheldon was very friendly and asked us several times if our meal was ok and if we needed anything. The manager came along to see if all was ok. The food is always good here.

   We were lucky with timing and got to the restaurant just as a lot of diners left. Less than 5 minute wait to be seated. Hostess was friendly. Our server was great. Food was delicious. All in all, a wonderful visit.

   Overall a good meal, however the bartender undoubtedly was new and didn't know proper measurements for a cosmopolitan. In fact every time I've ordered this drink here it's never made properly.

   Thank you for your honest review, Kip. We have discussed this with our bartenders and are taking steps to ensure all cocktails are made properly and consistent. We look forward to serving you an excellent Cosmo the next time you join us! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any other questions or concerns. Thank you!
