    Went here for my 17th birthday, service is amazing and is a beautiful place. Steak was delicious, sides are a huge serving so i recommend deciding on a table shared side. My party of 3 could’ve easily shared one of any side. appetizer lobster voodoo was extremely different than your usual lobster, large serving. Best strawberry lemonade ever let me tell you! My chocolate cake came with a lit candle and was wished a happy birthday many times throughout the restaurant. Crème brûlée was the best me and my mom have ever had! overall, great place for a special occasion but probably just for an occasion.

    Great food, wine, and staff! The staff is knowledgeable and food absolutely delicious! I would recommend for any date night, but definitely a place to go when you have a special occasion (and make sure to let them know when you make your reservation).

    Kelly did an excellent job serving our table. The Root Pie was delicious just needed a touch of salt. The pear and Brie salad was outstanding! They did not have 3 things we were wanting; decaf tea bags, soup and na 0% beer. It was a cold night and the restaurant was chilly so something warm was needed. My husband cannot have alcohol and most na beers still have .05% which was the case in what was offered. Overall we had a nice birthday dinner but hurried out to warm up at home! We will return for sure!
