    It was our first date out at this location. Reservation was held to what I requested and was nice to see and interact with manager as she checked in being it was our first time. The location we were at was by the stand up section so there were some people a lot louder than we would have liked but overall the service was amazing as well as food. Def recommend for a night out.

    Excellent as always. We did have to wait quite a bit because the Hostesses sat us in the back which with all the available booths and tables up front. We didn't really get a server right away and feel that the Hostess should have sat us where there seems to be more servers ready. I think the Hostesses needs to guided by the management on seating since, we were placed way in the back with only one other group. I think there needs to be better understanding of where to seat people in the restaurant.

    Party of dined on 11-19-24. Was beautiful and cozy atmosphere with friendly host staff and seated promptly. Ordered shortrib potstickers which were very overcooked and had to return. Reordered them a second time and the manager (Gabby) immediately came to table and said she would personally oversee the chef prepare this time. They came back perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. We ordered scallops and rotisserie chicken and both were delicious. Gabby comped us two glasses of bubbly and was very gracious. Definitely going to go back with a larger party next time. Well done and great experience.

    I visited with a friend for brunch and it was pretty fantastic. I had the breakfast sandwich that was quite tasty and some kind of signature sauce that was pretty great. The potatoes were crisp and delicious. The service was mostly great. Definitely friendly, maybe not always on time, but no real complaints. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
