This was an amazing experience! My wife and I decided to spend our 4 year anniversary here and they were more than fantastic! From the vibes of the space to the impeccable service, they continued to make us feel like royalty throughout the night! As a surprise for our anniversary they sent to the table a shot glass sprinkler fountain which was a huge highlight of the night! Thank you all so much! We will definitely be coming back!
