    I did not enjoyed this place very over rated the price does not match the experience I’ve been to many steak houses and this was the worst . Food was horrible something I could’ve made at home . It was my bday which I told them it was and they did not do anything which I saw them celebrating many other birthdays. I will not be returning .

    This restaurant is definitely a vibe. From the time you hit the door, ambience, intimate setting, service from waiter, music and let’s not forget the food! Definitely recommended.

    The best birthday dinner experience. The staff is friendly, good looking and lit! The live performance brought back that 90s nostalgia. I didn’t have to wait to be seated. Food was delicious and came to the table in a timely manner.

    We had a amazing experience. Our server (Pierre) was amazing. It was his first night and he brought the vibes. Very energetic, informative, respectful, and just a all around great waiter. Wish we could have stayed longer but we were at our 90 minutes. Will definitely recommend 10/10
