    Chef was amazing. Managers were useless. Had reservation at 7:00PM didn’t see our chef till 8:30. Poorly managed and operated. Service is slow but the servers hustle. Good place if you want to spend a lot of time at dinner.

    Cook was fantastic but the kitchen was no help. He has to repeat ask for the items ordered for table. Waitress spilled water on table reaching over clients. Not a big show. We had to wait on reservation bc they sat a walk in at our table by mistake. Watch your time. Lots of room for improvement. Food was excellent; however.

    First time eating at this location. The decor was fantastic. It felt very intimate even though there were many tables. We were sat with a lovely family of 5. Our Chef, Kyle made it a great experience from start to finish. I also loved how attentive the servers were to the Chef and to our needs. We will definitely be back.
