We dined on Valentine’s Day and the food was over priced. Overall, the food was good but the cocktails were small. The desserts were good, especially the chocolate ice cream.

Servicer should inform customers behave themselves while dinning in. Loudness in the dinning room is very rude to others.

Took a verrry long time to get our first drink and take our order but the restaurant was busy, and hopping in a good way. After that though, the food came out quickly and service improved. All of our dishes were absolutely delicious and all four of us took turns throughout the rest of the night saying “that food was great”! Loved it and would definitely dine there again when in town.
