    It was a great experience for my friends and I who celebrated me for my most recent published book that won 2 awards, Reader’s Choice and the Henri at the 13th Annual Christian Literary Awards. The food and the service was excellent! It was one of my friends’ first time in Downtown Dallas and she had a great time!

    My wife and I celebrated our 8th Anniversary here and we enjoyed every second of our night out. Before we entered, the looks from the outside were very inviting, as it had a red carpet entrance to the main door along with some great lighting. The moment we entered the doors, the mood was set. Dim lighting, a live DJ (music wasn't too noisy to where you couldn't converse) and the aesthetics were all complimentary. Our server, Kris, was amazing. She was knowledgeable, very nice and did a great job checking on us throughout the dinner. She also showed love by bringing us a dessert to help us celebrate. The food was great, as I tried the penne. My wife's food was good as well, although she was expecting a different taste on the ribs, but either way it was good. Drinks were good, not too strong. I would highly recommend visiting this place for a nice dinner with friends or even date night. You won't be disappointed!
