Overall great experience. The scallops app was a very small portion, would have liked to have seen a couple more. The 12oz Strip was sensational and cooked to perfection

Hi Andrew, Thanks for the thoughtful review. Really glad to hear the 12oz Strip hit the mark—and I’ll pass your compliments along to the kitchen. I hear you on the scallop portion; it’s helpful feedback, and I’ll raise it with the team. We appreciate you dining with us and hope to welcome you back soon. —Callum Heald, General Manager

Hi Minji, Thanks for taking the time to leave your thoughts. I'm sorry to hear the food missed the mark for you—especially if the seasoning was off across the board. That’s not the standard we aim for, and I’ll be checking in with the kitchen. I appreciate you noting the service was good, and I hope we have the chance to get things right for you next time. —Callum Heald, General Manager
