Our bartender was incredible. Amber helped make a tough situation perfect. We arrived for our 7pm reservation only to be told they had cancelled our reservation saying they had called 4 times I never received one call or message. Thankfully we were able to sit at the bar! Amber was great and we had delicious drinks and a great dinner.

Our table ordered ribeyes, sea bass, and a filet. They were all prepared exactly as ordered, and delicious! But it’s really the service that makes this place special. The staff are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about their entire menu including wines. Sit at a booth and enjoy your evening!
