    From the moment we walked in, we were escorted to our table. Everyone was very kind and thoughtful. service was great ! My lady is vegan and she called ahead and they were very accommodating and they prepared a delicious meal for her. I had the French onion soup, which was outstanding and the red snapper delicious.

    Remember, we ordered chicken Parmesan and it was probably the worst meal we have ever had. The Caesar salad we had first was subpar. The chicken Appeared to have been left over, it appeared the sauce was made a month or so ago, and the noodles were certainly not fresh. Or waitress, Taylor, could not have been nicer.

    Upscale/fancy vibe but relaxed at the same time. Sweet waitress. Best wedge salad I’ve had in a long time. Good menu choices.

    They handled our group very well. We had a couple dietary restrictions they handled well. Only complaint/criticism was the steak tartare flatbread was pricey and appeared/tasted nothing like steak tartare.

    Excellent dinning experience! From the moment we entered, we were greeted and seated promptly. Our waitress was extremely polite, accommodating, personable, and professional which made our dinning experience memorable. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and us being newly weds and I'm happy I chose this place. I will definitely return and highly recommend this establishment. Great food, service, and the perfect ambience!

    Food was spectacular, server checked in on us multiple times throughout the dinner but not an annoying amount. Night was slower which could have helped with the experience. But overall an excellent date night spot!

    Did not disappoint! Each dish from starters to entrées was delicious. There was a little bit of a twist on everything that set these dishes apart. Will definitely be back.
