    Our dinner was amazing! The food and service were great! Our host comped us our first round of drinks because they were unable to seat us on time for our reservation at 6:45. We were sat at 6:50. Totally unnecessary to need to comp us anything but she insisted. Our server was phenomenal as well! Food 10/10 Service 10/10

    Went out to celebrate my husband's birthday. Dinner included the coconut shrimp appetizer, a holiday cocktail, steaks, potatoes, vegetables. Followed by dessert to go, because we were so full. Brandon L was our server and he was very attentive and accommodating. My husband's steak was tough, we told Brandon and he took it away and replaced it with a fresh, more tender steak. When we ordered the dessert to go, I explained that it's my husband's birthday but we're too full, so we'll take it home. Not only did he get a complimentary slice of key lime pie, but they discounted his entree for the trouble. The ambiance is lovely, however it did start getting louder by the time we were leaving. We will definitely be back for another special occasion!
