From the second we walked in in the doors, it was fantastic. Ambience, service, food was top tier. Something we’d never experienced before, so we decided to treat ourselves on our 5th anniversary! Like our waitress literally folded my husband’s napkin again all fancy, as he went to the bathroom. So many little things that made it perfect. We had fried calamari and king crab, filet mignon, asparagus and baked potato. They gifted us the most decadent soufflé for our occasion. Definitely worth it!

Honestly the wait staff was great and kind, they just didn’t have many food options left and they kept bringing wrong drinks to the table. With as busy as it was and how large our party was I felt they did do a fantastic job and that aside, everything else was exceptional.
