    This is an amazing place to celebrate anything. Absolutely wonderful experience. Matthew was an attentive and helpful server. The managers checked in. The service was great. The New York was perfectly seasoned and delicious. They have such cute touches like the menu says happy birthday, there is a card wishing a happy birthday, & ice cream wish a fun sparkler. We truly enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend!

    We went twice during our visit and look forward to going back! Johnathan provided amazing service and the food and drinks were great. We really enjoyed the deep fried Oyster Mushrooms with curry and basil aioli and the Dawn Burrito (tofu breakfast burrito) were highlights for us as vegetarians but our non-veg friends really liked the Steak burrito. The Espresso martini was one of the best I've had. Don’t sleep on this place :)
