Terrific salad, bar, and food. Good service the only downside was a delay in being seated for 30 minutes after my reservation. Although we enjoy this place, this is happened repeatedly before and management refuses to adjust how many people they allow to make reservations. We suggest that they reduced the number of reservations, so that people can be seated more timely manner.bar

This was my first time. I felt tables were too close together so I wasn’t comfortable from the start. Took some time to be greeted once seated. Karina was kind enough to explain how the experience would go but it was so hard to hear. For the price I expected exceptional food and was disappointed.

One of the best dining experiences that we have had. We had reservations and were seated immediately. We had coffee on our table within 5 minutes of sitting down. The food choices were plentiful and good. We felt the 39.00 per option was great per person as we dont eat a whole lot of food. The salad bar was very fresh and plentiful. They could have added an additional soup which would have been nice. The service was impeccable and attentive. We will definitely be going back. One of the few restaurants I can say that about. Highly recommend.

Louie and the rest of the staff were so attentive. We were sat at a table near a window off to the side near larger groups and were surprisingly never forgotten about. My party had wonderful time and plan to come back sometime soon. Thanks for a great dinner experience.
