Good food in general but expensive in relationship to quality. Non-alcoholic cold drinks good but overly expensive. Wine serving size was miserly and quality of pinot selected, mediocre at best.

The atmosphere was amazing , the host was nice and respectful. Our server was great , give us enough time to go through the menu, but this time around our sever didn’t really tell us the special , which is fine because he did give us the menu. Server took our Order and all. Appetizer came out , the fried calamari was amazing. It was fresh it was crispy; just perfect. The drinks was so tasteful that I order twice. Lychee Martini and pomegranate lemon drop super yummy. The main course came out, ribeyes steak cook to perfection as we request ; medium rare, but my order was wrong. I order the halibut’s with macadamia nut, instead server brought out something different which I didn’t notice and my fault for not noticing . Took a bite and realize it was salmon ; server brought out second drink and said that was sea bass ; since I already touch the food and took a bite ; said it was okay and my fault for not noticing. I wanted to correct him and said it was actually salmon , but it’s okay ; overall everything is good. I was so looking forwards to the halibut and got salmon instead, I guess I’ll make another reservation for another dinner date. This time around I’ll pay attention to what’s on my plates. Oh and the dessert creme brûlée; another hit. Gotta save room for dessert.

Our server was Jadin! Our first time with him as our waiter. Jadin was courteous & prompt. Took time to explain the menu. He was attentive to our dining needs. Delivered promptly when asked! It was my husband’s 86th birthday. It was a very pleasant dining atmosphere in addition to our caring waiter, Jadin.
