Went here for our anniversary and may I say it was an amazing experience!. Everything from the service, the food, the ambiance it was just like something straight out of a romantic movie, we even got a complimentary brownie dessert for our anniversary. I will most definitely be returning and I recommend anyone who hasn’t been here to definitely come by and enjoy the food, drinks and the experience itself.

Great value and food quality. Beautiful and well maintained restaurant. Gracious greetings at the host stand. Service was courteous but in nearly each instance regardless of team member, the server, water attendant or support member would leave so quickly we couldn’t ask for anything. Had to wait multiple times for a return visit from the server to finish talking to them. The staff were all professional and polite, they just need to give more attention to the guests when speaking with them.
