My boyfriend and I wanted to go on a nice date and saw that this place had great reviews. It definitely didn’t disappoint. The ambiance was beautiful and our service was 10/10. Devon our server was absolutely fantastic and made our first time experience so enjoyable. The food was excellent. We got the cowboy ribeye and the white fish ceviche. The ribeye was mouth watering. So good and perfectly cooked. Our drinks were delicious!!! If you’re looking for a nice date night and excellent food/service come here and make sure to request Devon! :)

It makes for an uncomfortable experience when there is a rush to grab the dishes from one’s seating especially when the other guest has not finished their meal. It was not busy so it’s not like the table needed to be turned over.
