Our server was very nice but not attentive, not sure if she had too many tables. Had to ask 2 other people for items. This was frustrating and detracted from our enjoyment.

Tries to be high end but the food isn’t quite up to it taste wise. We had two separate reservations and asked if we could be seated together. There were quite a few empty tables but no effort was made to seat us together. The host was actually very rude, first telling me that we couldn’t be seated together in about as a disgusting way as he could. I understand that it’s very busy and we couldn’t be accommodated. But politely telling me you can’t do it is fine instead of being a jerk. Meanwhile the whole time we dined the table next to us was empty. So I guess his point was made. Won’t be back.

This was possibly the best beef I've ever had, and I am a complete food snob. It was so tender you could have cut it with a spoon. It melted in our mouths! The food was exceptional, the servers were attentive but not intrusive. The ambience was on the loud side, but understandable at a festive family-friendly event. I've eaten here many times, and I've never had a bad bite, but tonight was superlative!
