A new hit! I enjoyed the vibe, and the food was so well put together. A great pairing of flavors and the tenderness of the steak was fantastic! The desserts are huge and decadent. The star of the show? We put the staff to the test! From a food allergy, to the drink I spilled, to my random request for chili oil, they didn’t miss a beat. In fact, they went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of us and ensure we had a great experience. My water was never left unfilled, I was impressed. Bravo! I will be back.
