Wonderful experience both with service and with the food from start to finish. Very nice ambiance, perfect to celebrate our anniversary. Some items are a little pricey but the portions weren’t small and overall the bill was lower than expected for what we got. Very pleased, will be returning for more celebrations!

We recently hosted our Year-End Staff Celebration at this incredible restaurant, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we arrived, Shane and his team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Their attentiveness and genuine care made us feel like VIPs the entire evening. Shane’s expertise truly shined when he offered thoughtful suggestions to elevate our evening, from drink pairings to menu recommendations, and even creative ideas to make our celebration more memorable. His personal touch and attention to detail were unmatched. The service was seamless, with the staff always one step ahead, ensuring our glasses were never empty and our meals arrived promptly. The food itself was outstanding – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, making it the highlight of the night. I highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion or gathering. Shane and his team have set a new standard for hospitality, and we’ll definitely be back for future celebrations!
