    Wonderful ambiance, exceptional service by Arturo. The caesars salad, steak, chicken parmesan, thousand layer lasagna, button mushrooms, sprouts, gelato with choc/caramel sauce and chocolate mousse was delicious! Loved our time here. Also ordered the ham and bree pie drizzled with honey to go - that was yum. Overall, a solid pleasant experience. Loved the color palette, friendly vibes. The table spacing made it feel comfortable and spacious. Lovely space to have a meal with loved ones.

    Went for our anniversary on lunch time. Great and welcoming service from beginning to end. Food was excellent. I like the chicken lettuce wraps. My wife like her steak lobster noodle. Cheeseburger tastes a bit too light but still delicious. They even made us a cream brûlée cheese cake as anniversary compliment. An tiny thing could be done better is the welcome sparkling wine is a bit too warm for me. Maybe just my own preference. Overall, this is a great place to have an event or celebration.

    It was nice. Small table. I felt the selections were less than other places I’ve been. The salad bar wasn’t much that I wanted and the hot food station options were not desired either, white rice, tilapia and a couple other side dishes I wasn’t interested in. The meat that was served was excellent - every piece was mouth watering…. their signature drinks were also amazing. I definitely got my fill and for the price you should. It was nice but there are other places closer to home I’ll go to for a little cheaper with more options I like. It was Valentine’s Day and my honey is a Taurus so I thought it would be cute to dine there.
