We celebrated 3 family birthdays and enjoyed the experience. They were very attentive and brought what was requested. The filet mignon was the least enjoyed meat, lamb was the best. I personally enjoyed the Chilean sea bass entree. Thanks for an extravagant and memorable meal for our family.

Overall an okay experience. Waitress seemed overwhelmed. Couldn’t find her several times leaving us waiting. They didn’t have 2 items on on menu.

My waiter Diego was extremely patient and I appreciated his attention since I was a one top on New Year’s Eve. The food was was prepared and seasoned. Little underwhelmed by the cocktails and wine list and a little overwhelmed by their price, but the most confusing part was when I tried to leave a tip for the kitchen staff. They acted as if I were an axe murderer and I always compensate my server AND the people who prepare my food.
