Phenomenal food. First thing I’ll say is how perfectly timed the meal was. Not rushed at all. The appetizer didn’t come out until our first drinks were finished. The main course didn’t appear until the appetizer was cleared. We started with the bruschetta and I can, without a doubt, say it was the best I ever had. I had the champagne chicken for an entree and was blown away. My girlfriend had a ribeye that was also amazing. The drinks were worth the price as well. Service was perfect. The only negative is that the bathroom was not exactly clean. Lots of water everywhere and trash cans overfilling.

This is the best place I have been on a date. The atmosphere here is wonderful and calming. The service we received was absolutely amazing and the food was delightful. I understand that it is expensive but when you go here you know that you will be spending a lot of money and it is worth it. The dessert here is also extremely good.

Overall the food was very good. However getting the attention of the staff to get seating was slow, definitely felt ignored. Not sure if it was because we had children with us and they were hoping we would leave, not sure. But we were definitely waiting for over 15 mins for someone to come over to the host spot.

We came on a Friday night and were pleasantly pleased by being told 1/2 hour wait. An hour later (with 3 young kids) we were seated. Food was amazing but took over an hour. When the bill came, and we asked to speak to a manager she was super invalidating of our experience. This place has the potential for greatness, but the poor service, and rude management really hurt our perception in the end.

Great food, but low on staff. We were told the wait would be about 45 minutes, however it took about 20 minutes longer. The poor kid manning the host station was sweating bullets because they couldn’t take any more tables for an hour & half and people walked out rather upset.
