The food and drinks were amazing. The only thing that upset me is that since we had a party of 12, we had to pay altogether and couldn't pay separate tickets. They do tell you that on the site and when you arrive. The only thing is trying to figure out how to pay just for one ticket. We had to sit and use one ticket to see who ate what, add up our meals and send all the money to one peeson. It took way too long and then we were being rushed because they were trying to sit another party. I'm not one of those people who can just drop $800 on dinner and then have everyone else just send us the money. I took away a star because after everyone sent my husband and I the money (I paid for his meal) it was about $200 short because they didn't add the gratuity. MY HUSBAND ENDED UP PAYING THE GRATUITY AMOUNT ON HIS BIRTHDAY!!! This place is amazing for a grown and sexy night with a spouse but not for a big party. Don't get me wrong I will be back to try the brunch I just won't ever do a big party ever again.

Great experience. Took a skeptic with me for lunch. The oyster mushrooms in the marinara sauce on bowtie pasta was a big hit. Highly recommend.
