The venue was outstanding. The server Dominick was awesome and the food was great. The topper was the Vibe of the 2 piece band and the music produced by them.

Food was EXCELLENT! Service was also excellent, although the restaurant was quite busy and it took longer to have our meals delivered than we anticipated. We had scheduled dinner before a concert engagement with plenty of time, and were only just in time for the concert. If planning on a Saturday night, allow a bit of extra time. But everything was EXCELLENT!!!
