    The atmosphere is casual. And the service is great. The sushi tots are interesting and very good. The main dish, a special twin medallions with mushroom risotto and asparagus was not good. The steak was very bland and the sauce lacked flavor. The mushroom risotto lacked the mushroom taste you would expect and was overpowered by other spices. The roasted asparagus was delicious and best part of the meal. It was edible - just would never order it again. Would give another try as the service and cocktails are great.

    Started the evening with the Winter wonderland Margaritas and the Apple Bourbon delight along with the stuffed dates. Everything was great. The Mahi mahi special was delightful and the smash burger and Pan Roasted Cod were equally as enjoyable. Topped off with a wonderful peanutbutter and chocolate dessert! The service is top notch with Alessandra being quite attentive and it’s always a pleasure to talk to Julie when we are there.

    The lighting is so bad. Bright LED lights. The short rib was dry. Salmon thin and not well cooked. Fries were the only decent thing we had.
