Amazing service, lobster pasta was delicious as was the green salad. Branzino was ok, and the olive cake with lemon to die for.

We opted for “Greatest Hits,” overall, all courses were substantial. In terms of quality, superb. However, the chicken entree lacked in flavor. Great atmosphere and amazing service; will be returning.

I love this place! We were dancing while eating our entire stay. The music/ DJ was great! All you can eat brunch buffet was amazing! Everything on the menu had our tastebuds in harmony with the flavors. The gluten free salmon pizza is my favorite! We’re reserved to attend again and soon! Thank you!

Ordered 4 appetizers of which 2 were good the other 2 not so much. The main dishes, the pasta we ordered did not hold up to the standard they’ve set for themselves. First and last time here.

Went here for my birthday with 3 of my girlfriends and had the best time. Bartenders were friendly, server was fantastic and so charming. Hostesses were sweethearts. Food was delicious. The restaurant itself was beautiful. They accommodated us in every way possible and were very attentive. Genuinely had the best experience, we will be coming back!
