    Exceptional experience especially the service. Came here for my birthday and to our surprise our server Mr Jesus Del Toro, when we were here in Dec for my hubby’s bday recognized us while we were waiting for our table. We were glad coz he took great care of us. He made our experience fun and super special. I have to say the service from the entire staff is impeccable!!! They treated us like we were royals. Thank you! Everything that we ate was delicious! the amuse-bouche, the scallop, bone marrow, fillet mignon, asparagus, banana bomb, bday cupcake and my fave, the cotton candy. Thank you Jesus for your superb service, for even singing happy birthday 😉, for making my 61st bday extra special. Keep up the excellent work!!!
