    Wonderful dining experience. We had a reservation and had to wait 30 minutes for our table but it was packed so not a problem and there were spots at the bar to wait. Samuel our server was wonderful; he was attentive, knowledgeable and just wonderful. I can’t say enough good things about him. The food was delicious. We wil definitely be back!

    The food was delicious and despite being crowded, the service was very attentive. The restaurant was very noisy which was compounded by the loud music. I was annoyed that despite having a long standing reservation, we were made to wait at least 15 minutes past our reservation time for our table.

    Our overall experience was just okay. The server could’ve been more friendly. We don’t believe she smiled once. The other staff was very nice and helpful. They even sung Happy Birthday to me as the server just stood there stoically. We decided to tip generously even though we did not feel the server deserved what we gave. We always tip regardless. The food was not what we anticipated. The steaks were chargrilled as stated but it was a little too charred. Majority asked for medium and it was either medium well or well done instead. I personally could not enjoy my steak due to tasted as if I licked the grill. The ambience was very nice as expected.
