    From the moment we walked in, we were treated like royalty! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was the staff. Every single person we encountered was friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making sure we had the best time. You don’t just get great food here, you get a team that goes above and beyond to make you feel like family. A huge thank you to the entire crew for turning a simple night out into something special. Can’t wait to come back!

    Been there before but something has changed. Over all it was OK but they need to up their game if they want to continue as a high end restaurant.

    Went on a Sunday night with my girlfriend. There were a total of 19 guests during the 2.5 hours we were there. Service started off well, but after our first round of drinks, it took another 25 minutes to receive the second. By the time they arrived, we immediately ordered a third round knowing it would likely take just as long—unfortunately, we were right. The food was great—I’ll give them that. We had the steak for two, which was cooked perfectly and tasted fantastic. That said, it would have been nice if our server had taken a moment to explain the dish or the sides. Instead, it was more of a “here’s your food, enjoy” kind of experience. At $350, we expected a much smoother and more attentive level of service. We weren’t the only ones frustrated—other tables seemed visibly annoyed as well. All in all, while the kitchen delivered, the overall experience felt underwhelming for the price. There’s definitely potential here, but the service needs to match the quality of the food if they want to justify that kind of bill.
