My daughter and felt like celebrities for the evening from start to finish. The atmosphere was of what has only been seen in movies. The evening was glamorous from beginning to the end. Steak 48 was and is the only place to experience fine dining as it should be achieved. Thank you to all of the wonderful staff from the front to the back. Out extreme praises to the house chef and staff for an absolutely well presented, mouth-watering and satisfying dining experience. We will definitely be dining with Steak 48 again. ♥️🙏🏽😇

Little Water is a refreshing dinner spot offering a nice variety of seafood dishes. The service and pacing of the meal make this place shine - it is so relaxing to dine here! The staff keep glasses full. The pacing of the meal is excellent - they leave plenty of time for each dish to shine. Tables are spaced out nicely as well, further contributing to a relaxed dining experience. We had a 5:45 res on a Saturday night and stayed for about 2 hours as a party of 2 ordering apps, drinks & entrees. For a ladies night out, we tried the bread, swordfish crudo, Caesar salad & swordfish Milanese. Each course surpassed our expectations. The caesar salad was HUGE and delicious - definitely something you could split as a large side for 2 or a small side for 4. Excellent wine and cocktail selection as well. They also had some mocktails on the menu that looked tasty. Absolutely thrilled! Would return for a celebration

Chika Ramen Bar has a sleek, Blade Runner vibe that sets it apart—moody lighting, neon accents, and a futuristic feel. The cocktails are inventive and well-crafted, and the ramen is outstanding with rich, flavorful broth and fresh ingredients. A great spot for a unique dining experience!

Hosted a business dinner for 10. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Estia is consistent and great for a large party. Nice festive atmosphere. Food is excellent- fabulous Greek appetizers to share, fresh fish and other delicious entrees. Server was professional and didn’t try to upsell us which I appreciated.

quick service - but loud in the area - good food - accomodating
