    This was our first fine dining experience as a couple and the Valentine’s day menu was perfect! We got to take anything we didn’t eat home, and their champagne was delicious! We had a perfect night, and all of the staff was amazing to us. We’ll definitely be back!

    Had a party of five for Valentine’s evening. Restaurant was busy but service was outstanding. Ordered the empanadas & trio dip to start. All were delicious and had that homemade taste- not over-seasoned/ salted like many other restaurants do. Entree portions were generous & easily split without feeling like you didn’t get enough to eat. The center cut filet came out a bit undercooked to preference but our server promptly took it back & brought the plate out with properly cooked steak with new sides also. We appreciated the attentiveness of the wait staff. Cocktails were great and the butter cake was a yummy dessert to share. Highly recommended this place & look forward to trying more of their menu items on a return visit!

    The experience was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we arrived, the staff was attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. We kicked off our culinary adventure with the tantalizing Tuna Tartare, bursting with flavor. The lobster bisque was out of this world, rich and creamy—every spoonful a delight! For the main course, my husband savored the juicy pork chops, while I indulged in the exquisite sea scallops that danced on my palate. Each dish was a masterpiece, leaving us both raving about the incredible meal we just enjoyed!
