    Service and food were excellent as was the atmosphere. My problem is that all 3 of the women I was with almost fell on the slippery entry way and the walkway to the table. To dress appropriately and wear heels is a challenge I am not sure I would attempt again.

    The space is absolutely beautiful. Sat by the pool with view of kitchen. Service was excellent as staff is well trained. Everything is served nicely. Oysters were very fresh. I did not like the salads but friends did. Sea bass was good. Very mild with lemon. Could have used a little herbs. Brancusi fish was broiled & very good. Pork chops sounded good but were quite dry. For dessert the chocolate bomb was terrific! Beneis were dry. Skip them. Overall a wonderful evening. Recommend.

    We checked in and were the 2nd ones there and they forgot about us!! So after 15 minutes waiting they asked our names and said they never checked us In. The manager was the one we spoke to originally so not sure why it got messed up. Food was good. Just not sure why it felt like we weren’t a priority like we were before! We got sat and our waitress was no where for a few minutes the table sat after us had their waiter right away just felt of for sure The price tag for dinner is worthy of being catered to. Our first time there was top notch so we felt like things had changed this time.

    Absolutely amazing service from the staff. They took it an extra mile from having the notes of our anniversary in the reservation. They wrote us a hand written card which was so SWEET. not just the staff but the food was to die for. Best food I’ve had at a restaurant recently if not ever. I will be going back.

    Ordered the wagyu tomahawk. It's about 5 servings worth. Of those 5 servings, I'd say 3 were great cuts, perfectly prepared. The 2 edge pieces however were too chewy, with undesirable cuts of fat and tendon. This dish was a fun experience (the sheer size is intmidating) but in terms of value, I believe you can get better cuts for your money. Happy for the experience but would not reorder. Also ordered the 2 lobster tail plate. Regrettably they were overcooked. Flavor was nothing spectacular. Would not reorder. The cream spinach and mushroom sides were amazing. Overall a fun experience so long as you're value shopping.
