    For a change the whole table opted out of steaks and beef and chose seafood and quail with seafood appetizers included. Alex was a great server and with the table in a prime spot by the windows we had a nice time catching up and visiting. However, my sea bass entree was rather small and overcooked. The flavor and veggies were perfect but the fish could have been a little larger and less cooked. Overall we had a nice dinner and will surely be back again.

    My fiancée and I dined here for our Valentines celebration on Sunday and had an amazing time! Had a quiet intimate table. My favorite item was the lobster macaroni & cheese as well as the Bang Bang Rock Shrimp! We split the 14oz New York Strip and it was absolutely divine. Our server was also amazing and very attentive!
