    Our waiter was very knowledgeable I ordered the Rasta pasta and it was to spicy to eat. A friend at the table ordered Cajun pasta and hers was just fine. Just keep that in mind. Other than that. Everything was good

    $375 for 3 entrees, drinks, and a small dessert?! Insane pricing for mediocre food.

    I really like this restaurant however, I was very disappointed at how disgusting and dirty the bathrooms were this time.

    Fine place. But honestly the food was over priced. It was decent food don't get me wrong I ordered the almost which was salmon, broccoli and mashed potatoes. Priced at $48 was definitely way too much for that dish. The other options in the menu were all pretty expensive as well. Cute decor in the front (maybe a little overdone) but the women's bathroom was pretty messy, and looked half renovated. Also would have liked to be able to park ourselves and not have to pay for valet. Has pretty good reviews on social media but honestly i definitely won't be back.

    Food was delicious and a good value. Service was a little slow because there were some large parties in the restaurant

    Went out for my boyfriend’s birthday. Overall an awesome experience. Our server was Paige* (not sure of the spelling).. she was so knowledgeable & friendly right off the bat. We actually ordered 2 of the specials based off her recommendations and they were perfect: Salmon Bites & Rasta Pasta. We had the Chicken Ravioli from their traditional menu & it was amazing. I tried one of the holiday cocktails as well, coconut mojito situation, it was great! I could’ve had 3 easily. 😂 Great place, great service, great food. Will definitely be back!

    Only had brunch menu available and didn’t have several items on that limited menu. Ordered eggs over medium - hard as a rock. Used to love this place, but now it’s just overpriced and so so.
