Vibes were there! It was so pretty and classy and cute. everything was great except the steak. Maybe I’m a steak critic but I felt like all i could taste was the char on the steak which really ruined it for me. I never reach for salt at the restaurant and the amount of times i salted the steak was insane. It seemed to lack a marinade or seasoning blend. But besides that everything was fantastic, i plan on returning just maybe not the steak this time
