    Everything you would expect from an outstanding upscale dinning experience! From the Dj in the corner to the entire restaurant design this place is the entire vibe. Food, as I sit here typing and munching on my leftovers with the most basis of reheat options, the microwave, take me right back to when my lobster drunken noodles and lobster fried rice were dropped of at my table last night hot and fresh! Chef's Kiss, thank you. Drinks warmed your soul as well. But more over the reason I'll definitely be back many more times, is they recognize you're coming out spending hard earn money for a chance to relax and enjoy a night out, never felt rushed to just eat and leave! We were encouraged to just enjoy our items as they arrived and continue our conversation or listening to the music and people watching! Thank you for an all around dinning experience cant wait to be back.

    Had a great office lunch here. The waiter Nico was fantastic. I had actually been here two days before, but decided to come back! The butter leaf lettuce, salad, mozzarella, pizza, and ricotta, honey starters were amazing. We all went with pasta so eggplant Parmesan and Bolognese are delicious. Love the ambience and both indoor and outdoor seating are beautiful Thank you.
