    Beautiful venue and really good food. The big miss was waiting and waiting for a new batch of mashed potatoes to come out. There were 8 of us waiting and sadly they never came. My food was cold by the time I decided to go back to my table. When I told our waiter Josh, he fetched some for our table of three. That was a big miss and that’s why I gave a less than five star on food. Luckily Josh and Kyle (who seated us) saved the day with their charm!

    Went for our 15 year anniversary a couple of months ago and experience was fantastic. Had some live music with a man and his guitar, wasn’t as nice as the big live black male band on our anniversary( go on a Thursday eve for that) singing all the Marvin Gaye and Stevie wonder + hits, but was enjoyable. Went again for Thanksgiving with 7 family members & restaurant did not disappoint. Spread was beautifully curated with a few more extras to highlight the Thanksgiving holiday. I think I had about 5 lobster tails 2 being the thermador. Crab was great but a bit spikey and hard to hold. Love that they had lamb chops, garlic mashed potatoes and fluffy Persian rice too. Surprised I was able to to enjoy some of their decadent desserts, as the bread pudding was delish along with the apple cinnamon roll. Everyone had such a good time that they were talking about returning next year with additional family members. So perhaps this will be a new tradition. Def recommend going here instead of shopping, cleaning, cooking and cleaning again.
