    The meal was exceptional. Each dish was creative and a perfect blend of many different flavors. Our server, Alex, was friendly and knowledgeable. However, we were seated at what would gradually become a sun field. As the sun was setting it began creeping up the table until it was going to be shining directly in my wife’s eyes. So she slid over one place at the table and even then had to lean away from the sun. When we mentioned that, we were told, “Oh, it will be gone in five minutes.” It wasn’t. When we suggested that that time of day might not be the best time to seat anyone at that table, we were told, “We don’t know from one day to the next where the sun will be.” Really? I’m not an astronomer, but most people know that the position of the sun doesn’t change that much from one day to the next. It felt like we were being blown off. The irony is that there was a table right next to ours that the sun didn’t even come close to and there was no one seated there the entire time we were there!

    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.
