    The service and atmosphere were generally good, but the overall dining experience was disappointing. We ordered the Rib Eye steak medium, but it was served rare. The meat quality didn’t match the price—it wasn’t tender, had several tough bites, and didn’t seem to be the full 18 ounces as advertised. The burnt ends were also underwhelming—not tender, and the sauce lacked flavor. I was looking forward to the blueberry mojito, but couldn’t order it because they were out of mint. Overall, we were expecting superb quality food for the price point, but it simply didn’t deliver. Would not return.

    The service was great the food was just ok. My omelet was dry and the items I ordered in it were sparse. The fresh fruit side was not so fresh. Atmosphere was nice.

    Heather was an absolute joy. She provided us with exceptional service. She went above and beyond to make our dining experience exceptional, we were celebrating my friends birthday and Heather provided her with a special treat. The beignet's were delicious! All of the staff we inacted with were pleasant & wonderful.

    The food was very tasteful and the food was delivered in a very good time by two very good young gentlemen who asked how everything was.
