    Lots of screaming kids and crying babies but I realize the restaurant can’t do much about it.

    I had a great experience with my family and friends. We celebrated Mother’s Day together and our service was amazing. The food was delicious too. The drink was fabulous too. I hope to go back again soon.

    Don’t go for the endless. 45 minutes for a second serving of 3 shrimp and 3 cuts of meat. The wait staff just hid as opposed to dealing with the customers. Drinks were empty. Tables not bussed. Manager was a disgrace.

    Went there for the experience and was cut short of one by a land slide. Got sat past our reservation time, but that’s whatever. Then another 15 minutes until our waiter came to us, a glass of wine took over 30 minutes to get. We waited a while between corses and our waiter was nothing but unenthusiastic and no hospitality. Not once were we asked by anyone how anything was. And we found what looked like to be a fake hair in one of salads and the bread we got was hard and seemed to be left out all day. Also never asked if we wanted anything boxed up. Save your money and have a better dinning experience somewhere else.

    I took my mom out for her Birthday and it was a wonderful meal. Andrew was our server and he did an awesome job. Very attentive and helpful with any questions. Food was great as always, and super fresh. The GM Rick was also wonderful and continued to check on us as well as surprise me and my mother with Champagne for her birthday. We will definitely be coming back very soon!
