    Had the best lunch/birthday/celebration for my daughter. The food was delicious and very fairly priced. Very nice variety for lunch. The restaurant was absolutely stunning. The wait staff and management could t have been kinder or more attentive. We were there to celebrate our daughter’s 19th birthday and they made it so special. We were seated by the windows, which was requested when I made reservations and it was just a beautiful experience. Loved everything about the iconic restaurant!!

    Made a RSVP for Valentine's Day and the experience from start to finish was very accommodating! We arrived slightly late but the hostess was more than eager to greet us and seat us to our table. The valet driver was superb at accepting and delivering our vehicle at the end of our dining experience. Our waiter Alejandro made the night wonderful and delightful and remembered to bring out a birthday celebration dessert for my girlfriend's choice of dessert! He was acknowledgeable, and always checked-in routinely to make sure everything was to our liking. What a wonderful place, we will definitely be back!
