    Came here for a rare night out with my husband and thoroughly enjoyed it! Arrived a bit early for our reservation and had a drink at the bar while waiting for our table. The ambiance was nice; dim without being overly dark and the noise was moderate despite a fully packed bar area and dining room. Food was superb…we ordered the coconut shrimp (not my favorite, but my husband loved it), spicy tuna roll (excellent), the ribeye and the roasted chicken were equally delicious. I think my favorite aspect of our visit was the service. Friendly and attentive from the moment we walked in, especially considering it was a busy holiday weekend. Can’t wait to return!

    The crispy artichoke stole the show. 10/10, recommend getting them. And thankfully the waitress recommended to add crispy chicken to the spicy gemelli - was the perfect addition!

    Everything was great and the service was phenomenal from greeting to seating to eating. We made a reservation for the bar but when we arrived I requested for seating in the main dining room. It was quickly accommodated and the staff was pleasant and friendly the whole night.

    Usually one and done but can’t wait to go back! The food, service and atmosphere was excellent. Compliments to the chef! The menu selection was diverse, from the appetizers to the desserts I was blown away by the execution of each plate. Had the deviled crab, crab fingers, oysters, crab fried rice, gulf snapper, pork schnitzel, and dessert! I definitely recommend for any type of event. The chef took the time to make sure everything was up to standards. Hats off to him and his staff. Wonderful experience.
