    Love this restaurant. It is very modern and seems to be the place to be seen. We were greeted by Marcela. Wonderful Service Manager. She made us feel very welcome. We were not satisfied with our original seating and she accommodated us very quickly. Service was excellent. Kudos to Charles for the excellent professional service. He is very polite and attentive. He treated us as if we were the only ones there. We started off with the caesar salad that was chilled just right. My wife had the King Crab with asparagus and mashed potatoes. I had the ribeye with crab fried rice. We finished the meal with the chocolate malt cake dripping with Godiva chocolate deliciousness and coffee. Everything was excellent! The atmosphere was very inviting. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Please give it a visit. You will not be disappointed. We will definitely be back. Thank you Marcela and Charles for such a lovely evening.
