The atmosphere is nice and the food was good enough. Prices were reasonable for a nice restaurant. The mocktail I got was delicious. Service was ok, had to ask for silverware and again later for another knife (had to go find a server). The manager kicked us out after only 1.5 hours due to “having a reservation at our table” even though we also had a reservation for our time (that we were even a few minutes early for). Nice dinners shouldn’t be rushed. Glad we didn’t get dessert, or they might have made us finish them on the way out the door. Won’t go back.

Location and service was very nice. Tried the ribeye and it was overcooked and tough so you might want to try another option.
