Eveything about this establishment is on-point. Be it the outstanding service, the food (presentation and flavor), the ambient lighting or the beautiful decor. They truly are firing on all cylinders here, and will make for a top-night for any occasion whatsoever. I cannot speak highly enough about this place in all honesty, making it a local favorite for several years now.

Superb dining experience. Wished we had gone during lunch hours to better see the views that were still amazing at night. We ordered the lobster for two and it was epic. With this dish, I recommend ordering a side of asparagus if Mexican sides do not appeal to you. The scallops with raisins were amazing too. The servers were friendly but professional. 10 out of 10
