    The setup was the a major issue, the tables were low to the floor and the seating arrangements were awkward to the say the least. I will say our server was the highlight of the night very attentive. As the food goes it was ok nothing over the top. The French onion slides were great, as well as the lobster Mac and cheese. The steak bites were boring and didn’t have anything remarkable to talk about. The lamb chomps were fine but the sauce was not for me I would recommend getting it on the side so you can gauge if that’s for you or not.

    Our server, Camile, was amazing! She was so kind, very helpful with us picking our food and drinks. The Ravioli was everything everyone said it was, delicious! Unfortunately caviar was 86’d so we’ll have to come back and try them next time! Great place, delicious food & drinks, amazing service!

    The spacing is tight, 2 hr table limit isn't the best when you're having a night out at a lounge.

    Great food and service. However people are literally dancing on top of you and not very comfortable when you’re dining.

    We were disappointed as the restaurant was very cold, and the only heating was on the other side of the place. At the time we made a reservation we weren’t told that there is a Latin night going on all night. The food was just ok, the waiters didn’t speak English, we had to keep our coats on because of the cold, and we left after 30 minutes.
