Our bartender, Raul, was very engaging and helpful. We decided to stay at the bar because we enjoyed his company so much. The drinks were well-balanced, and the house wine was actually really tasty. The food was fantastic! We all loved the dishes we ordered. I had the short ribs and it was perfect. We will definitely be back.

Our server was great. We had a large dinner party and he was able to serve our table and the entire restaurant all by himself without delays in our orders. We were there to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday and he made an extra effort to make sure we were taken care of.

The food was good but the restaurant is a bit run down. The tables and chairs are very worn, most of the chairs were torn. Nothing special a bit pricey for the style of the restaurant. Looks Nothing like the pictures on open table.

Went for mothers day my son and i ordered the filet. My husband had the ahi. Ours was fabulous. My husbands ahi was over cooked and tough, but cold? Since the restaurant was mostly empty (we went early) it should have been perfect! Ahi is a 50/50 experience. So this time not good! The waitress was exceptional. Hostess friendly! It was clean and everythin else was perfect!
