Ron was great, thorough and recommended the best items on the menu in order to make the ordering experience a bit simpler. The service from our waitress was excellent and we had plenty of folks checking on us and sharing interesting bits of information about the chef, the offerings, and upcoming events. Food was exceptional and came with plenty of free tastings that were a nice surprise. Will definitely be returning.

Abby was great! She took care of our large party and multiple transactions great! The food was good and the drinks were fine. I am more of a tequila drinker and there weren’t many options but everyone else enjoyed the rum drinks.

Really great environment. The fire dancers were a nice touch. The food was excellent. The DJ was playing really great music that was a mixture of genres but appropriate for all ages and cultures. We will be back. Great birthday experience.
