    Fabulous service. Friendly and thoughtful. Food but a bit pricey for what it was. The music in the restaurant, however, made for a less than relaxing experience. Fast tempo and a bit too loud we found ourselves eating faster than usual and distracted from our conversation.

    Service was great. Food was good. Ambiance missed the mark. Someone wanting to take photos of me at dinner? Dress code, but table next to me had t-shirt and ball cap? Expected more.

    The food and service are great. The ambience and atmosphere are great too. The staff are very friendly. It gets loud after 9pm on a Friday when the music is turned up and the people talk louder to hear themselves over the music. Beware there’s a fee for using credit card payment.
