    Paige is a rock star. Food was good not outstanding. Could have fresher/warmer. Just felt like it was made early and warmed up. But Paige is awesome.

    Dinner was amazing! We had ate there in 2023 we loved it , we decided to go back because the experience was so special however the menu prices have significantly increased. I feel paying 75 for a steak is definitely over priced! They have a great happy hour with half off menu small plates that we might try next time.

    What a delicious dinner, everyone had something different and each dish was prepared perfectly, from the steaks to the seafood, the halibut was amazing. Our server Kim was fantastic also, thank you for a lovely evening.
