    From the time we walked in until we left we had the treatment of special guest. We went to celebrate a special occasion just for us. The service was amazing and the food was perfection all the way around. The app lobster voodoo is perfect, we had ribeye and classic filet and I have to say it is tied with Hells Kitchen in Vegas as the best steak I have ever had. The Lobster mac n Cheese is a perfect side. Our dessert was the chocolate sin cake and the name says it all. Over all our experience was a 10 out of 10 and we will definitely be back.

    We were warmly welcomed the moment we walked in. Timothy and Emma took care of our table with superb style. They provided excellent service and suggestions. Timothy made us feel like we were the only people in the room and added some laughs as a bonus. The sea bass was delicate and flavorful. We enjoyed every moment with all of the staff we came in contact with. I don't think it would be very much fun to work Christmas Day, but you couldn't tell it from the staff here. Oh, and the music wasn’t too loud!

    First time guests and will definitely be returning. We had an awesome experience! My husband and I came here for our anniversary dinner. Food and drink came a little slowly but otherwise we had a great time and our server was great. She was very sweet and personable and made us feel very welcomed. The food was fantastic. I finished my plate and that never happens for me! The drinks were also great. The value for your buck is definitely worth it.
