    Had to continue to listen to the child screeching next to us. Which kinda put a damper on celebrating my husband’s birthday. A little disappointed by that but everything else was perfect like always

    Went there are a birthday party with 4 women in their late 70s. They loved it. The food was great but strange, the ambience was wonderful and the waitress was great. The only issue is that is is hard to find (tucked back between a tatoo parlor and a pizza joint) and the parking was difficult. Be prepared to walk a block or two.

    Christmas Magic Our dining experience was golden. The atmosphere was over the top, literally with giant snowflakes, golden ornaments sparkling everywhere. We had a smile on our face the whole evening. Our food was delicious. I had the filet again because it's that good. My friends had the salmon. I tried the 1/2 Caesar salad, the best I’ve had in years. We got a side of crispy red potatoes and garlic bread with dipping au jus. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted great. They give you umbrellas to use because every hour on the hour Christmas music starts to play and it snows!!!! So much fun. To top it all off we had the Baked Alaska flambé. Our waiter poured a flaming blue caramel sauce over our dessert. What a show! My only regret was we shared it and I didn’t get my own. LOL!! Excellent place for a date night, but a must see for everyone to get in the Christmas spirit. PS We loved our waiter Michael he gave us exceptional service .
