First, a shoutout to the staff especially our Server, Ryan! He knew when to come to the table, when to refresh and when to take our requests and quickly accommodating. The staff that worked with him was just as accommodating. We didn’t have a lot of time but had we had more time we would have had dessert, coffee, tea and drinks. Our food was prepared to perfection, my pasta could have had more short rib eat to the dish. All in all, a great experience. We’ll be back!!

The service was slow, but that may be due to it having been a busy night. The food was great especially the truffled garlic bread and the spicy king crab pasta. I would definitely come again :)

I chose to dine here for my 21st birthday and from entering the door to leaving, we received exceptional service from everyone there. I received a lot of compliments and I got a complimentary glass of wine and also a cute little birthday treat. The food and drinks were amazing too. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to any and everyone. 10 out of 10. I’ll be back soon.
