    Valentine’s day service was good, the steak and frites was ok, the steak was 4-5 pieces and really tough. Sauce for fries was good. For $75 per person, there really wasn’t enough food served, you can tell they were really portioned. The music was so loud I was like screaming trying to talk to my partner to get her to hear me. Not so “romantic” if you want a quieter environment for a Valentine’s day dinner. 😐

    My boyfriend and I went for Valentine’s Day and both could not get over how good the entire meal was. Loved everything about our experience and will be back

    Judge accordingly given that it was Valentines Day, but we were sat at our table for over 50 minutes and never received our first course. We had to leave without ever receiving any food in order to make our show on time. The table next to us said they had been there over an hour and had only been served their appetizer course. Ironically, the sever did bring them their desert course. No entrees for you. Extra bad given that they had a very limited prix fix menu for the big day. I wasn’t happy. Not good for a higher end restaurant in a major market. Do better.

    We made a reservation for our Valentine’s Day date here. Despite that we showed up on time for our reservation- we still had to wait for our table for 30 minutes standing (very poor management). Service was not that great either. We had to share a single fork to eat our main course… serving size was a joke. It was complete ripoff, to be honest

    Bobby, Bonita, and Christina made my bar reservation for 1 amazing. There was another manager outside of Bonita that checked in on me and gave me recommendations for the next time I go. Overall, I felt special and was well taken care of 💗 the Valentine’s Day menu had some great options that I enjoyed!

    Wonderful atmosphere, delicious food and drinks. Beautiful decor and excellent service. However, when you get your bill there's and unexplained surcharge on the bill they don't tell you about.
