    The food was outstanding ( juicy New Zealand steak and perfectly prepared fish with outstanding passion fruit sauce). Appreciated the friendly waitstaff. Music could use a redo—was workout vibe vs elegant dining experience.

    Did a review a few days ago and went back to see if it was a one time event. No the meal and service was as good this time as the first! All the meals were wonderful but the lamb was superior.

    The drinks, appetizers (beef carpaccio and lobster cakes) were very good. The seafood pasta was very fishy tasting and the sauce of the steak with peppercorn sauce had an unusual floral note although cooked medium rare as ordered. A very strong potpourri wave of fragrance occurred numerous times during the meal changing our palate. Very unwelcomed. The dessert tiramisu was very good. The service was excellent. I would not return due to the food preparation and the fragrance.
