    First time there - staff was extremly friendly, helpful and respectful. First meet and greet with each other and staff responded accordingly giving us time to enjoy each course and talk with each other without being rushed by them and/or the food. Everything was timed to us.

    Great experience, would definitely return. We ordered appetizers, entrées, drinks, and dessert for a group of 11 people and every thing was exceptional. Only exception, I, asked for steak medium and it was cooked well done. Waitress was amazing. Had chef redo it but it fell short, steak was once again cooked well done. Manager was great, we were compensated for it. Another thing to keep in mind our reservation was for 4 PM. Apparently the restaurant does not open their doors until exact opening hours. We had to wait outside in the cold for 15 minutes. I would recommend recommendation booking reservations 15 minutes after restaurant hours in the winter months, so this is not experienced.
