A new hit! I enjoyed the vibe, and the food was so well put together. A great pairing of flavors and the tenderness of the steak was fantastic! The desserts are huge and decadent. The star of the show? We put the staff to the test! From a food allergy, to the drink I spilled, to my random request for chili oil, they didn’t miss a beat. In fact, they went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of us and ensure we had a great experience. My water was never left unfilled, I was impressed. Bravo! I will be back.

As always, the food and service is consistently excellent! Hector is the best server at the restaurant and remembers our favorite food and drink orders every time. The reception staff are lovely and the ambience is always good. So much so that we’ve already booked our Thanksgiving meal with them, which we did last year too! In our opinion, this is one of the best restaurants in the area.

The burgers were fantastic. Exceded my expectations. The waiter brought me the Sprite in the tray together with a huge tub of Clorox wipes to clean another table. Not correct for a five stars hotel..
