Guest Reviews

"It's been YEARS since we've had such an incredible dining experience, all around. This is exactly what dining dreams are made of. From the minute we walked in the door, every staff member knew our names, and our allergies and greeted us with smiles. The cocktails and wine selection were top-notch. Every piece of food was cooked to perfection and presented in an amazing way. If the culinary team is executing at that level during an incredibly busy holiday weekend, my guess is that they have it down to a science. Thank you for an excellent evening."

"Not sure where to start, truly was an amazing experience. From the team that sat us, and attended to us throughout the meal - 100%! Now to the amazing food from the Dover Sole (off menu item) to the Wagyu Ribeye. Expertly prepared, absolutely amazing and to top it off - the Bananas Foster Martini (WOW)! The restaurant lived up to the expectations!"
