The service and our server was amazing. They took the time to explain to us questions we had about the drinks and dinner menu. Great date idea / location to watch the sunset and have great drinks and food. I recommend the order off the grill for a good meat lovers date night. We got the Churrasco* This includes a variety of meat which we requested medium rare and was super juicy and delicious- New york strip, lamb chops, achiote chicken, Argentinian chorizo. The server carved our meat table side so it was a fun experience.

Exceeded my expectations! Fish was fresh with thick pieces, the color changing vodka drink was so refreshing! Love how good we were treated and there was no hesitation to giving my babies cucumber slices. Love that they had fresh and pickled wasabi, that scaled my ranking past 10 for sure. Def coming back!

Our dinner was very good but our server "T" was outstanding. She had the right amount of checking in and giving time. Her attitude and personality was infectious. The food was good but the service will bring us back and hope to have T again.
