    Upon arrival we were promptly seated. Davis and David our servers did a great job. It was an anniversary dinner so added touch of a card and rose petals on the table was very nice. Beef tenderloin and American Wagyu beef tenderloins were perfectly prepared and served. I highly recommend the American Wagyu Beef if one hasn’t tried it. All staff were courteous and attentive. Couple of things that could be improved was the bar service was slow and it was quite noisy where we were seated as there apparently was a street band performing…so I don’t recommend taking a table on the south side of the restaurant. Overall excellent experience that will be recommended to others. thanks
