    I have to say I’m impressed with my 1st time visiting, the whole staff was amazing & worked as a team but our waitress Stacie was the best I could ask for, very polite & held great conversation I felt like she’s my friend now. She promoted the specials & recommended entrees & appetizers based on her personal preference. Stacie continued to check in on us periodically & made sure we had EVERYTHING we needed. Food &drinks were 10 out of 10, I will be returning, GREAT JOB!!!

    We had a great experience for Valentines Day. The atmosphere, service, food and music were outstanding. The Sax performance throughout the dinner was very pleasing and he engaged with us all while he walked around and played. We ate the Valentine’s menu and it was really good. The only thing was, we were not able to substitute the dessert with another. We are not big Tiramisu so we wanted to substitute it, but the Valentine menu was set and there was no substitutes. However I would still rate 5stars. We will be back. Thank you to our waiter Sean and staff.

    My wife and I went in for Valentines Day and everything was on point! The service Lindsey provided was great and the food that was recommended was just as good. We had drinks, appetizers (the oysters and scallops were 10/10), entrees and dessert. This was our first time visiting but definitely will not be the last!
