    The energy was great and the food was even better. We weren’t even sure they had food until we had looked earlier in the day and booked a reservation and it did not disappoint. Tables were comfortable and the inside was way bigger than expected with plenty of space. Food and service were awesome and the drinks were also really great. Highly recommend for date night or with a big group for lots of laughs.

    Beautiful place. It’s been my third time there. I definitely recommend it but we ordered filet mignon which was undercooked/raw instead of medium. The specialty of the night lamb chop came rare instead of medium/rare. Also what came as a surprise to me that I had to tell a server that we were there to celebrate my friend’s birthday even though I stated that while booking when I was asked for the occasion. It made me believe that they would serve a little complimentary cake just like two ladies got before us but they were not going to do it until I decided to double check. I had to order it. It would have been wise to ask to choose one when asked for what’s the occasion so that customers would not end up frustrated.
