    Service was top notch with tentative hostess and waitress. Seated upon arrival per reservations made. The menu is exquisite making difficult to decide. With the server’s recommendations we were very please with our selections made. Everything was cooked to perfection, we had the Salmon and Redfish dishes, shrimp appetizers and calamari. I also have a new favorite drink the “Pear Martini”

    Overall I love the food, the waiter was nice. The negative side was service was slow. The young man had about 7 tables to wait on upstairs and downstairs. I guess they need more wait staff. And being such a classy establishment, you shouldn’t have to wait on your water to be refilled. I love the he place just need to work on getting more help. I will go back❤️

    I wish I had good things to say about this place but I wouldn’t be able to tell you considering my experience. I had reservations for 2. It was my daughter birthday, paid for valet just to not even get a chance to enjoy the ambiance or food. The 3 most rudest, unorganized, unprofessional hostess were the icing on the cake. I arrive at 9 pm for 9:15 reservations just to tell me that it would be an hour and 30 mins before we were sat. The lobby was full of guests who was also waiting and there was no seating room at all. They provide complimentary champagne but had to wait at least 30 minutes to get that upon arrival just for me to be given a wet glass that was dripping all over me. It’s very unfortunate considering that I am a fan of fine dining and supporting my people but this place definitely needs to regroup and get the reservations and time limit restrictions together. My experience was 0 stars and although the ambiance seems beautiful I didn’t get to see any of it and my daughter birthday dinner was ruined. All 3 of the host needs to be retrained or fired. I knew it was bad when the Chef came out in his apron which should never leave the kitchen with it on and tell the other party who I end up knowing they had been waiting over an hour also. My experience was terrible.m!!!!!

    Made a reservation for 8:30pm a week in advance and when I showed up I still waited an hour and half to be seated. Other than them not being organized knowing Saturdays care busy days everything else was great. Great hostess accommodate you with champagne for the wait, customer service was still great even with all the stuff going on. We had a great server her babe was Kezzie she had great hospitality. If you try this restaurant don’t go on a Saturday. I would suggest a bigger waiting area for walk ins etc.

    We had reservations for 7:15 plus we have to order food and eat and at 8:17 we were asked if we can move to the bar area for the next reservation . I eat out to experience a lot of nice restaurants and has never ever been asked to move. It’s not my problem they over booked . I will never return .
