Had a party of 11 people out to celebrate my 25th birthday. Our server was so kind and funny, as well as the whole staff. They truly know how to make someone feel special. The food was delicious and we had a few folks with allergies to which they were so good with. Everyone in our party was raving about the restaurant afterwards. Definitely worth the visit. I know we will be going again soon!

Excellent food & service. Tried their twist on a Manhattan & it was perfect. My wife had the grouper which was great but, I had the Cantonese snapper which was superb! The key lime pie & bread pudding were superb as well! I read some positive & negative reviews on another site about this restaurant but, I can attest to having a great experience from the moment we entered. We will definitely be back.

Fried green tomatoes were outstanding. AG salad excellent. Ruby red shrimp delicious. Bang bang cod with pad Thai amazing. Filet mignon overcooked but they prepared another very quickly and comped a glass of wine and did not make us feel bad about not accepting it being overcooked. At correct temperature it was excellent. Mashed potatoes were delicious as were baby carrots (swapped out for Brussels sprouts). Background music was a little loud. Server was attentive and very good however not very personable. Overall a wonderful date night with my husband and we can’t wait to go back!

Atmosphere and service were really nice. But we were on the patio seated right up to the two tables next to us. A bit too close for comfort. The drinks and appetizers were very nice. Of our four meals, only one would be described as delicious - the shrimp scampi. Fish dishes and osso bucco were very dry- a bit of a disappointment. Desserts were outstanding. If we went back we’d skip the main course. Kim was a pleasure.
