    Attended the wine / steak dinner last night which was held in a private section of the facility. Absolutely perfect service. Outstanding steak dinner. Staff was extremely attentive. The wine pairing was perfect with each wine being explained. Very worth while experience. I highly recommend the wine dinners at the beautiful restaurant.

    The place was packed and busy, but our server was the absolute delight, she was very attentive, even though she was supper busy and tripple sat. The busysness of the place actually worked in our favor as we got a lot more time to talk to each other and have a great time.

    By far outstanding 5 star service and food, but very highly priced. Dinner for four was $500. That’s more like NYC prices. Still, a beautiful restaurant and would definitely recommend.

    This is a review for dining upstairs. We were seated immediately upon arrival on a Tuesday at 7:15pm. The service and food were excellent. We were greeted at our table quickly, offered water, and provided menus. Soon after that, our drink orders were taken. Our appetizer and dinner orders were taken upon receipt of our drinks. The plates and utensils were replaced for every course of the meal. While the water glasses on the table were small, the staff was very attentive to keeping them full. The area in which we were seated had several other full tables, but I didn't find it to be loud or disruptive to our own table conversation. The lighting was low, with a tea light at each table, but I was still able to read the menu without issue. Overall it was an excellent dining experience for a date night. We will return.
