    It was our first time at this restaurant and the couple who were next to us raved about how great the food is and even how awesome the service is. Yes, it was Valentine’s Day and it was very busy luckily I was able to make reservations a week before. We were able to get a table within 5-10 minutes after our reserved time. Once seated our waitress was so kind and was able to get our order in quick and items we ordered slowly started to trickle in. All the items we ordered was delicious. Will definitely be coming back and highly recommend.

    Went on Valentine’s Day!!! had reservations at 8, showed up at 7:45 and didn’t get seated until after 9. You would think for a business that’s been open for so long they would have a system for seating during busy holidays. Our Chef James made the wait worthwhile though , he made great jokes and interacted with my son who gets shy in these types of situations. By far the best chef I’ve had here. thank you James

    This was an unexpected "wow"! Very casual, clean and modern inside. Great service and easy to figure out how to grill etc. The shrimp was spicy and fabulous, I highly recommend the cabbage salad which had the best flavor.
