    The food and drinks were very good. Although I ordered the Vesuvio potatoes with my entree, which are very large potato slices, instead I got chopped up potato bites and some excuse as to why I was not given what I ordered. We were also disappointed we were not offered a dessert menu, coffee or after dinner drink. As our waitress was bringing our check, I had to ask for the coffee. Curt, the Manager was great. Friendly & reseated us to a more desirable area.

    It was our first time at the restaurant. We had a 4:00 pm reservation, which it is also when they officially "open". They were still getting the restaurant ready for service until about 4:20 - somewhat disappointing. Other than that, the service was excellent as was the quality of the food. It is a bit pricey but worth it for special get togethers.

    Food was great. Manager checked in on us more than once. Waitress Jessica was the Best. We had her last time as well. She’s memorable. Sweet. Helpful. All staff 5 star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Replenished drinks and cleared table for next course in timely fashion. Celebrated 2 birthdays. Only it was a bit cold so the a/c could be turned down after sunset. A bit pricey but worth it. ❤️love the place! 🙋🏼‍♀️ I always tell people to go there.

    Everything is great. The best part is the in-house birthday cake from the restaurant. However, I would like to make a small recommendation on Ahi Tuna. Its taste will be much better with wasabi.
