This was my first experience and I enjoyed every bit of it all. The service was very exceptional. I didn’t get the bartender name but the woman that was at the bar was amazing when it came to making the drinks. My waitress Britney was awesome, she was very down to earth and respectful and she was very attentive to the needs of me and my girlfriends when it came to our order. I would definitely recommend this restaurant too everyone. The ambience was beautiful and it had a great vibe.

The food and service were generally very good. I would have rated this higher, except there was a piece of plastic in the middle of our cheesecake.
