    Our reservation was at 7:00 pm. We arrived at 7 and were immediately seated. The waitress was cordial. She offered suggestions about drinks, appetizers and food. We were sitting, eating our food and enjoying the restaurant when the waitress returned to the table at 8:16 and said that the reservation after us had arrived. We were shocked and confused. Like why are you telling us this. She said that each table is only allotted 1 hour and 14 mins. I was like huh?? Mind you there were other empty tables available. It killed the entire spirit of the evening. I looked at my reservation and in fine print it said that parties under 6 were allotted 1 hour and 30 mins. to dine. This is crazy to me. Needless to say, we paid our bill and left. Valet - The couldn’t find my friends car key. She finally walked to the car and found the key inside. So, they valeted her car with the key inside. They refused her to give her a refund or even a discount. Only apologies. The food was good, but I don’t think I’ll be returning.

    Kenya our server was amazing. The music and the light show experience are a bit much for an establishment that wants to be 4 or 5 stars. The food was mediocre. I had the sea bass and it was over cooked. The lamb chops were sauced well but not super tender.
