The food was delicious a bit pricey but I knew this before we dined. The server was GREAT! I had Branzino and it was a very large portion . My husband for his birthday dinner had the lobster pasta. He said that it was very good. Overall a good experience but even though I had mentioned that it was my husband’s birthday there was no mention of it. This s was disappointing.

Took my wife here for her birthday on Friday and had a great experience. My wife ordered a filet mignon cooked well done. It did come out a little too well done so they had to put in another one. However, filet mignon’s are not meant to be cooked well done so we get it. At the end of the day, they made everything right the food tasted amazing And the staff was quick and helpful ! Highly recommend
