We enjoyed our dinner and drinks as we usually do but for a slow night, it was very noisy. Loud customers because the music was so loud and they had to talk over it.

We had a great experience! We were given a complimentary glass of champagne to celebrate our anniversary. Such a wonderful surprise. This wasn’t my first time, but the food is amazing. Only thing I would change is extra capers on my meal. However, my husband and I were so full and happy with our meals. The service was beyond amazing. You won’t be disappointed.
