I’m so happy that my nerves were wrong. The food and the service were outstanding and on the same level as a normal RPM experience. We walked in and it was so busy but the hostesses were so calm and very warm, friendly and welcoming. The service all around was so attentive. My parents were raving at the level of service on such a busy evening . Thank you for such a wonderful holiday dinner and experience.

We celebrated our anniversary and we were celebrated from the moment we sat down. The menu stated Happy Anniversary and we had the BEST WAITER named SEBASTIAN. He was exceptional in describing the menu and explained how the food was cooked. My partner and I enjoyed the ambience and sat a booth close to each other. Romantic but fun. Some people celebrated their birthday as well. There are 2 bars and 2 big areas closes off for private parties. We will be coming back for the food, service, and Sebastian.
