Food was not as good as we expected. Felt like it was mass produced, a bit on the mushy side.

We always have a wonderful experience at this place but it was extra special for a birthday celebration. Christian our waiter went out of his way to make sure we had the best time. The ambiance is perfect, the food is delicious as always and we will definitely be back to enjoy it again and again. Thanks for being a wonderful place to celebrate.

Reserved an outdoor table days in advance, instead we were seated right next to the kitchen. Was told we would be moved when a table opened up but instead watched group after group being seated outside. The restaurant is nice and the food was good but our table made it difficult to enjoy.
