    The service was amazing! I bet the food would be better if I came back. The steak was overcooked and the sauce was soo peppery it was overpowering. It’s such a beautiful place

    The vibe is good, music, visuals and drinks where tasty. As far as the food the menu was very small only appetizer size plates. It could use 3 entree options. Overall a wonderful time.
