Enjoyed our wedding anniversary here and the service and food were exceptional. Honestly, the best cheesecake I've ever had in my life. The waitress also made sure there was no alcohol in the cheesecake since I am alcohol sensitive.

Food was amazing, Service was outstanding. The ambience of the restaurant is so romantic and comfortable. My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary here and they gave us a free dessert with a sparkler which was so sweet. I would 100% come here again and recommend to all.

Food: Not great. My husband had a filling put in his tooth last week. The chicken was so overcooked he couldn’t chew it on that side. Bread was stale. Sausage on the side of the lasagna might as well have been jerkey. Ambiance: We were a party of 3 seated at a table for 2, and in the worst location- literally facing a wall. There were other better larger tables which were open throughout our entire meal. Service: We were seated before another party in the same room. Despite this they were first to be served. They had bread brought out to them. We had to ask for ours ten minutes later as it never came. The server irritably said “yeah I’m bringing it” when we asked. Our entrees were served lukewarm only after a party that ordered after us had their tableside meal prepared. Overall: better ways to spend time and money. Won’t be back.

Our server ruined the whole dinner. He even sat down at the table next to us. The ladies who served us were amazing! That other guy was terrible.
