My fiancee & I reserved a table on Valentines Day. This was both our 1st time and our experience was amazing. All the staffs were very friendly and helpful. Our reservation was at 845 we got there a little early so we werw seated in the beautiful esthetically cocktail area which was well decorated. The views were amazing scenery was breath taking and the it gave a grown, sexy & mature vibe. Food 10/10 I ordered the lamb and my partner ordered ribs.

Everyone was awesome to the front gate man - to the hostess- to the waitress- to the manager! The food is impeccable and I am very picky when it comes to “chef” quality. The view and atmosphere is spectacular and unique. Calming while looking at the river. It is clean and attentive to anything you need. I even asked for pepper and didn’t see it on the table but they offered to have the chef freshly grind some ( I used the table one haha) but honestly well done guys and will be back of course! A true gem in our community - hats off

It was an early Valentines Day date for me and my husband, we decided to take advantage of the Wednesday Date night special for $75.00 and we were NOT dissapointed. The menu offered for this special deal has a lot of amazing options. We chose Tuna Tartar for our starter to share, which was absolutely delicious and enough for 2 people to share. Our entres were Sweet Chili Chicken and Portobelo Chicken , and they were AMAZING! The portion size was huge, we had a nice lunch next day :) For our dessert we picked the Carrot Cake , which was a huge, delicious piece that ,again, was enough for both of us to share... Our server , Hanna, was very friendly, attentive and made sure we had everything we needed but did not overdo it or made us feel rushed. Thank you, Hanna! The only thing we would suggest is maybe to make the music a little quieter and instrumental , something more ambient. Otherwise the facility has very nice athmosphere, nice lighting, and different choices of sitting, Not too crowded and too close to other patrons. We enjoyed our date and the delicious food that was served in a very pretty fancy way. We will definitely come back and recommend this place to our friends.

Too cold! Otherwise an ok place for a quick bite before the movie.
