    This was our first return visit after a previous unsatisfactory visit in December. The food and service was wonderful. Everything was prepared perfectly. Our server, Samantha was very attentive and pleasant. We remembered her from past visits and we were very happy that she was our server. Great meal and experience.

    What an amazing experience ! After accidentally coordinating our outfits perfectly, our party was treated so unbelievably well. We ordered the chef's new ribeye and it was the best cut of meat we've ever had, cooked to perfection. Chef came out and sliced it tableside and educated us on how this beautiful cut came to be. Appetizers were delicious-the samosas were our favorite. The sides were heavenly and the cocktails were perfection . What a delicious night and experience. Sarah was our server and she was simply the best!
