What an amazing choice for a date night! The ambiance was stunning and set the perfect mood. The staff went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable! I stopped by on a Monday to take advantage of their incredible deal with 50% off wine bottles, and it was such a great surprise. I had requested a whole lobster before arriving, and Henry nailed it! Huge shoutout to the fantastic team for their exceptional service! I can't wait to return! The atmosphere? Absolutely classy! It’s simple, yet it exudes luxury!

We went on a Saturday night around 6 and the restaurant was dead. We were nervous since it was our first time and there were no customers. But dinner was great and the service was super helpful. We highly recommend.

Food and service for brunch was excellent. Server Jose and Chef were kind and spot on with orders and service. Especially refilling our Mimosas! Will definitely return. The lobster Mac & Cheese was amazing. As was the lobster eggs Benedict, brunch burger and bread pudding. So glad we tried this little gem!

The brunch here is excellent. Great brunch menu, the French toast is awesome as is the cheese steak omelet and the breakfast burger and crispy fries. Service was spot-on. Definitely a keeper and will return to try other menus.

The entire menu is filled with gastro delights. Was there for Sunday brunch. Excellent choices. Hard to decide. The breakfast burger was excellent. Bottomless mimosas and great cappuccino. Going back very soon. Jose provides great service.
