My lovely lady and I dined here for the first time on New Year’s Eve, and we are so glad we did! The ambience, food, and service were exceptional! We had reservations for 9:00pm, but the place was packed, so we had to wait a few minutes, which was fine. Our server, her name escapes me, was very knowledgeable and her recommendations were spot on. We started with the warm bread and Chicken Fried Lobster Tails. DELICIOUS!!! My date enjoyed the full Rack of Lamb, while I tried the KC Strip, and we shared the sautéed Spinach, Brûlée Cream Corn, and Whipped Potatoes. All food was phenomenal! The host honored my request for a booth near the pool, which was lovely. Although we passed on the Champagne Toast at midnight, overall, it was a fantastic way to close out 2024. We will be back!

As I always say, this is my favorite o.c. restaurant The pork is always my go to dish, as are the cauliflower, corn brûlée and Caesar. We went there last night, NYE. No rushing us from our table. But it was busy and our server showed a bit of the stress she had by being too busy. Next time, also, I’m going to ask for the plate to not be 500 degrees hot. It kept cooking our steak and pork chop to the point of becoming medium instead of medium rare. Still tasted wonderful. Our 5th visit. Soon we’ll do our 6th

Started off rocky. We were seated in the way way back in a closed in room with 4 tables. Two of those tables had kids. No view or ambiance. BUT we spoke to the host and they moved us to the Chefs area or room I think is called. Fantastic experience after that. Servers were amazing Eberet was an interesting engaging server and was on it wherever we needed anything. The food and martinis didn’t disappoint at all!!! Atmosphere was great and we left very very happy.
