The dining experience was truly enjoyable, offering a delightful ambiance. The meal was well-prepared and satisfying to the palate. A rating of four out of five stars seems appropriate for the overall quality. The atmosphere was conducive to both romantic evenings and productive meetings. The service provided enhanced the pleasant dining experience. This establishment appears to be a versatile choice for various occasions. It's definitely a place worth recommending to others seeking a pleasant outing. We hope to return soon for another enjoyable experience.

My husband made reservations here to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and couldn’t have been happier! Our server, Nick, did an excellent job taking care of us :) He ensured we had everything we needed and made the evening special. We found out the meats are all dry aged, hence why they are cooked to perfection! We got free dessert on the house and Nick gave us bunch of mini Tobasco sauces to take home. Most definitely will be coming back!

Absolutely loved it here! I came to celebrate an anniversary and engagement and it was great from the moment we walked in and left. Carson (our waiter) was great to work with. He took his time and gave us good recommendations the whole night!

Worst experience fine dining ever!!!!! I celebrated my birthday here on 3/2/25 with 7 guest. I made reservations at least 3-5 days in advance. Came at 7 and we waited over 2 hours for our food. Only to receive cold truffle fries , hair in my friends steak, and my best friend’s wife ordered the filet medallions to be medium well, they came out damn near raw twice! In the defense of the restaurant they did comp my bill for the drinks , and took the steak off of my friends final Individualized bill. They also gave me a free desert and the manager Jason was extremely nice. Mind you this is a Saturday night it was busy but it wasn’t THAT busy at 7pm , my waiter Kristen was extremely nice and accommodating, she kept making excuses for the wait, but in reality there is no excuse if I made reservations to let you anticipate 7-8 guest. Other reviews have had similar complaints. I really only went here because a buddy of mine suggested trying somewhere new for my birthday. I hesitated writing this review because i did really want to like this establishment. I am unsure if I would go back but it the establishment reached out to me I’m sure we could come to terms. Food wise I had the brown sugar steak medium well. My wife had the New York strip. Both were decent steaks but not like mind blowing. The bread is okay, calamari, dynamite shrimp, and truffle fries I enjoyed. Filet mignion pot stickers I would pass not worth the bread. We spent $250-$300 bucks for some mid. I will never forget how I was treated. To top it all off , valet outside ( separate company / vendor ) tells me upon arrival valet is $10 and he works on tips.. younger Caucasian gentleman. I got a tip young man , focus on providing a good service / experience to make someone want to tip you! Avoid avoid avoid avoid avoid avoid 💯

I went to a birthday dinner for a cousin of mine and I have to say that I had a lovely experience. I loved the ambience and the elegance of the restaurants atmosphere. The service that I received from our waitress Brandi was very exceptional. She was kind and patient and very thorough about the dishes when asked for an opinion. I would definitely dine here again and I highly recommend for others to do so as well.
