    We ordered the Prix Fixe menu. All of our selections were delicious! Our service was superb. We sat in a quieter area and it was very nice to be able to hear each other and not have to talk over noise or loud music. Overall we were very impressed and will definitely be back!

    I had such an amazing time. The happy hour menu is filled with incredible options for awesome prices and the specialty drinks were delicious. But we also stayed for dinner. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked as well as the roasted salmon. The rice is undescribable but delicious. I had never had saffron rice like this before, and the herb saffron rice with the fish was paired perfectly. The custom cocktails were well balanced with the meals that we had. The staff was welcoming and willing to explain everything that we ordered. There was ample parking and just an overall perfect way to end 2024. lamb chops. Thank you
