    Three of us went for my birthday dinner tonight. It was the best meal I have had since I last ate at the Biltmore in Phoenix,AZ. The presentation was amazing, the waiter “Matthew” was friendly and knew the menu well, excellent at explaining the intricacies of how the dishes were prepared, was always there when we needed something and attentive to our table without being obtrusive. He was the perfect waiter. I had the sea scallops which were perfectly sautéed and served with a variety of steamed vegetables. We all started with the “Heirloom Beet salad” which was so good that Matthew was kind enough to get us a print out of the professional recipe! To finish off an outstanding meal, I had the Tiramisu, which although extremely rich, I was able to finish every last bite! A fantastic evening was had by all! I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation!

    I was blown away by our meal. The food was of the greatest quality and prepared to perfection. We shared a tenderloin that practically melted in the mouth. The side dishes were equally excellent. Service was terrific and the drinks well made. My only complaint would be that the music could be turned down given that there was so much lively conversation around us.

    The noise level was so high that conversation was very difficult with the person seated next to me. Given the noisiness, we will not return.

    Upscale restaurant! Small menu but the food was fabulous! Homemade pasta. One of our party had gluten free pasta and said it was delicious which is a rarity for gluten free. Excellent service. Would have been nice to have bread and wasn’t offered an upgrade to add salad or soup but overall recommend!

    This restaurant was amazing. The food was great and our server was very attentive. Our food came out fast and the manager was friendly. I showed up 15 mins early for my reservation and he seated me ahead of time! I would definitely recommend this place for a nice date night!

    On our reservation, I stated we needed a gluten-free meal and they went above and beyond to let us know our options. From what was naturally gluten-free to what they could prepare as gluten-free.

    We had asked for a table at the front due to a guest who is hearing impaired. There was a table open but the hostess refused to seat us there stating it was “reserved “ however i had told her we had requested that same table when we “ reserved “ as well. Overall ended up being very nice although noisier than what we had expected . Server was great and food was wont. The hostess however was not the best
