When we first checked in for our reservation, the wait time was unbelievable. We did not get seated until 30 minutes after our reservation. That was not a great 1st impression 😕 we almost left. There's no point of a reservations if you have to wait but it is understandable. When we did get seated, our waiter Forest was so great. He explained how everything works, very apologetic for the wait time, and making sure we were taken care of. The management was so great as well, he even gave us a dessert for our anniversary. After everything with the fine dining and the extremely good quality food! I will say yes to everything, excellent quality, fine dining, recommend to others, and most definitely will be returning. Thank you for making our anniversary special. ❤️
