    We had a bday dinner for a friend. Our reservation was originally for 6. But we arrived at 715 and only waited about 20 minutes for a seat to become available. The ladies at the door were all really nice and attentive. They offered for us to check our coats and wait at the lounge area until the table was ready. The lounge area was beautiful. The seats were so soft! We ordered shots and took a few pictures and it was time to be seated. Our server was Kaylee. She was a 10 all across the board. Pleasant. Attentive. Engaged. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their server. Before going, we were told by a few different friends that they didn’t care too much for the food. However, it wasn’t our experience. We all loved our food. The serving size was just right. Not huge like some restaurants. But enough to be satisfied and maybe take a little home (if you ha appetizers). The one thing I would say needed a little extra was the bday song/celebration that they do for the bday person. It lacked energy and the fake cake and sparkles they come to the table with was very underwhelming. Not that we needed a Broadway show. But it wasn’t even worth capturing on video.

    Arrived there after the theater around 4:30 p.m.. Restaurant was not full and as a result we were able to enjoy a leisurely meal. Noise level was relatively low and for once it was possible for us to have a conversation. Food and service were great. Pricing was very reasonable comparing to other restaurants in the area.
