Music is always played way too loud in the restaurant, especially during the day mid week at lunches. I asked them to turn it down, but they did not when there’s very few people in the restaurant. Music should be turned down so people can have a conversation.

Hello Frank, we do like to have a fun, lively atmosphere here at Queenstown Village, which does mean having the music up. We apologize it is not to your liking. We hope the good service, food, and decorated atmosphere make it worth your while to visit us again! Thank you

The food? Absolutely outstanding. Every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Everything exceeded expectations. But the real star of the night was our server, Alivia. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better with her great recommendations and welcoming energy. It’s rare to find service that feels this genuine, and she truly went above and beyond.

Beautiful restaurant with great staff & even better food! Our waitress Belle was very sweet & wonderful. I ordered the lamb skewers which were absolutely delicious. Portion sizing was perfect. The biscotti espresso martini was heavenly and the best tini I have had in a minute. Will absolutely return in the future!!
