                    Food and service were great but it’s really noisy inside. The filet was cooked perfectly and the desserts are massive. Would go back again

                    Food requirements (celiac/gluten free) beautifully handled. Allergy server came out to take order and review accommodations. Though no dedicated fryer. However great substitutions made (cucumber for taro chips, kettle chips for French fries). Food was delicious. Meal enjoyed by all.

                    Food was quite bland compared to previous visits and my husband had to send his steak back twice. They offered to cook it a 3rd time, but he declined. It was disappointing but our server was very friendly and help get a manager and resolve our issue.

                    My husband and I love this restaurant we often go different times a day. We always get a reservation just in case, so we are not turned away. I love all the food and drinks and have not had anything I would not recommend.
