    Great customer service, the front desk and waiter were five stars. The food was a solid 3 1/2 - 4. It was good but could be better. Will return at some point to try more of the menu

    The Food was good. Ty was a great waiter. However the environment is really loud it’s hard to have conversations with people across from your table. Re-fills took too long to come when asked from someone other than our waiter. The food including dessert took too long to get to our table. I made a reservation to be seated in the dinning room however, I was seated in the high chair table near the kitchen. Lastly, It was my birthday celebration dinner and you ran out of the chocolate cake which was a big disappointment.

    Share and enjoyed Lobster and prawns tacos, Hummus plate, truffle fries and cheesecake! Great service. Note to the restaurant. For lunch, I found the music was a little too loud.

    Staff were friendly, atmosphere was great. Good had great taste, drinks were perfect. Only down side was that food was not as hot as it should have been. We had filet mignon and the broccolini, potatoes and steak were only warm. Tips of broccolini were actually cool as were parts of potato.

    The only surprise was that when we arrived and I provided my name, they said they didn’t have a reservation in my name. Strangely enough, our guest had arrived before us, gave my name and was seated in the section I had requested. Later the manager was going to every table asking how things were going and he never came to our table. I was not impressed by that lack of professionalism.
