The service and food was absolutely outstanding: they went out of their way to make it a perfect experience and were accommodating in every way. One of the best experiences I have ever for a large group like ours. Truly wonderful. Bravo.

They brought products other than what we ordered, when I told them it was wrong, they said they had recommendations? If they had a strange recommendation for me to decide what to eat, they should have told me. Also, the dessert plate fell upside down in front of my husband, his hand still hurts. San Sebastian stuck to the table, which was strange, they just said sorry for that as if it was normal

Loved the decor, very festive but not overly done. The lemon drop martini from the happy hour menu was a good choice. We had 3 appetizers: salmon crispy rice-we loved this, but only 3 pieces..?, spice box fries -the gravy could’ve been bigger or better yet doused over the fries because it seemed a bit dry & buffalo flat bread-pretty good. Our server Alex was pretty attentive. Overall nice experience.

We had an awesome lunch before our show. The chicken salad sandwich was to die for. We were very particular on what we wanted on that sandwich and our server accommodated all of our requests. Thank you very much !!!
