Our first time here to celebrate my wife’s birthday. They are sticklers with your reservation time…no sooner, no later. The ambiance was like that of a movie set. They had a birthday card waiting on our table for my wife. The heaters were a nice balance to the outside air. Our waiter Solomon was charismatic, knowledgeable and offered great recommendations. Very impressed with the quality of food…bruschetta, short braised ribs and complimentary dessert for my wife’s birthday. We’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you for a delightful experience!!!

The place was very loud for a sit-down restaurant, but Angela, our server, was excellent. The taco appetizer, salmon, and jambalaya were delicious, but the french dip sandwich was bland. Overall, I would recommend dining hear.
