    The restaurant is beautiful, both the decor and the view. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. Three of us had 3 different dishes and we were all thrilled. The fillet, the rib eye and the sea bass. We all had Caesar salads and were very happy with their unique spin on a classic. We also tried 3 different desserts and loved those as well. A chocolate one, a pumpkin cake and an Apple tart. Our Thanksgiving dinner could t have been better and we thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. We look forward to trying the restaurants regular menu soon!

    Our waiter Felipe gave excellent service. He was funny, quick, and entertaining. The loaded baked potato soup was warm and needed to be hot. But everything else was great.

    Unmatched hospitality! The server was knowledgeable about the food and able to describe them well. We didn’t have great luck with the clams, they were very chewy & overcooked but the broth was delicious. They took it back and a sweet manager, (I’m forgetting names) sent a hamachi that was to die for! Everything else that hit the table was delicious and we were very impressed. The bubbly and celebration desert was super appreciated as well. Honestly made my birthday dinner feel extra special, some places really don’t go the extra mile but they sure know how to impress.

    Great service and seating around the chef counter was a bonus. You can see all the cooking action right in front of you. The wagyu carpaccio was the highlight of the night. It just melts in your mouth. The organic pear salad was also great for sharing. However the aged duck breast and the dry-aged bone in ribeye had some tendons and chewy parts that is unable to swallow.
