Only one dish was actually good and the server was incredibly unpleasant.

I went for my bday, made reservations and asked the manager if it was possible to bring out dessert with a candle as me and my sister was celebrating our bday and they did not. Besides that, I had a great time, the decor was beautiful, I had fun with my friends.

Service was great, kitchen was a little backed up and they were out of at least 3 dishes. However Music and vibe were great, a little noisy though. Overall I would recommend if you’re going with a group of friends. Not really a dinner date place for 2.

Shaun was a great server! Drinks were good, food was mediocre, I’m not sure if the menu was limited but we ordered about everything on it and nothing was really memorable for me. They did my steak the way I liked but it was burnt on the out side and had little flavor. Also bringing the music down just a bit so you’re not screaming to have a conversation. Had fun nice experience

Acoustics are crazy! Hard to hold a conversation. The band and the other musicians were excellent. Food was yummy. Pretty space. Chairs are a bit uncomfortable. Yet overall, it was a great experience. I plan to return soon but will try a different area of the restaurant.
