    My family and I had a great experience. The restaurant just opened and they were low on staff. Regardless, they did an amazing job with their hospitality. Service was a bit slow, and some dishes on the main menu were not available. Nevertheless, the food was amazing. Our waitress was very polite and courteous the entire time. My daughter and I had the seafood Scampi, my wife had the roasted Chicken, and my son had the Filet Mignon. One of the first time we all left our plates empty. We will definitely go back, especially to enjoy the live band in the bar area next time.
