   It was our first time going there and we did not have a good experience. We got there around 5:20 PM on a Thursday and we were waited on promptly and service was good. Our food came quickly and it was piping hot. However, the seafood Alfredo that I ordered Did not taste like Alfredo sauce at all. It tasted more like a cream of chicken soup. The meal was $36 just for that so that was a great disappointment. Instead of offering to sprinkle some freshly grated Parmesan, as most restaurants do, when I asked for Parmesan they brought me a side of powdered Parmesan and then charged me a dollar for it. The waiter got extremely busy as he had eventually been seated several more tables and although this part was not his fault, it was still very frustrating. Eventually he did not come back to the table for a very long time and when he finally did we asked him for the check. It took 15 minutes to get our check and then we waited another 25 minutes for us to get our credit card back and the check to sign! when we asked him for it he apologized and said he thought he had already given it back to us . we couldn’t see the value so we will likely not give it another chance.

   Fun date night… our reservation was for indoors… a bit noisy due to acoustics, but food was very good!! I had the Chilean Sea Bass and it was excellent ! Afterwards we sat outside and enjoyed the entertainment. We will be back!

   What made the evening watching someone run to do their job. I would like to hire her to train our employees. The service was great, the food was good. What could have made the experience better would have been to sit outside on the patio.

   The food was great, I couldn’t believe how hot everything was at the table. It was like the chef prepared it right beside me. I don’t know our server’s name, but she had long braids and she was lovely and the service was fantastic. The ambiance was awesome. They had live music and a really great band that wasn’t too loud. You could still have conversation. I would definitely go back there again.

   We received texts telling us there were traffic issues so we left 30 minutes early only to get to the restaurant to find that the Kitchen was completely down and could not serve us hot food! Not good on Valentines Day

    Had a resv for 6 pm and when we arrived was told all resv were on a “30 min wait”. Spoke with mgr and was told a resv only guarantees a table not when that table would be available. I told him I thought that was odd. He said that’s the way they do it there! For warned. Food excellent. Outside dining great. Band that night was awful so we chose inside. Still loud but better. Server was adorable.
