We had the best time at ALK! We loved the food, the ambiance and of course the service. Shoutout to Patrick, our server! Not a fan of jazz music though but it was alright. Would come back again.

Love the enclosed patio, service was excellent. Craig’s knows how to combine fine dining with a twist of comfort food with their classic Italian options, but they have options for all occasions, vegetarian, seafood, steaks, you name it. Always a pleasure.

Uchi is amazing and lives up to it’s reputation. The food is expensive but it is tasty. I would go back just for their amazing Brussels Sprouts and Coconut Tapoica dessert! Great service and ambience too.
