    This was definitely a birthday dinner to remember! Everything was TOP-TIER WORTHY. From start to finish, from the way we were greeted and seated to the way we were serviced! The ambiance of the restaurant matched beautifully to the atmosphere. 12/10! Let’s get into THE FOOD! It was outstanding portions and flavor wise, the chef really outdid themselves. I’m so glad I chose here to celebrate turning 24, they will definitely see me again! Full rating 10/10 on everything!

    Great meal! We only had a short time for dinner as we were headed to a concert. The staff was extremely attentive, served courses at a perfect pace so we were timely but didn’t feel rushed. Food was delicious and plentiful. And it is SO nice to eat in a restaurant where you don’t have to shout to be heard. We carried on our conversation at normal speaking levels and didn’t hear from those at tables near us. Convenient location and definitely will be back.

    We did have a reservation, but since we arrived before the lunch rush began, it would likely not have been a problem to get a table. And, though we asked to be seated somewhere quiet so that we could visit (3 of us), it was fairly quiet overall anyway. The place did get much busier while we were there, but not overwhelmingly noisy. The service was great, with each staff member very pleasant. Our meals were excellent. (I had the watermelon salad and was impressed that it was really a watermelon salad - not a bed of greens with a couple of bites of watermelon on it!)

    It was my first time there with my friend and we really enjoyed ourselves. We opted to sit in the restaurant area and the music was nice. Definitely snapping and singing along. The staff was very friendly, and attentive to our needs. Our server Christopher was amazing. He gave us great suggestions on appetizers and entree selections and they were perfect. Get the Grand Marnier wings and the oxtail dinner. The rum cake did not appoint. I had the hands on your knees drink and it was good. Stop thinking about it and go.
