    It was a wonderful experience dining here on New Year’s Eve. I heard lot about this restaurant but it exceeded my expectations. I ordered Steak which was exactly the way we like it. My girlfriend really liked her drinks as well especially the charcuterie board they made for us! It was unforgettable experience for last meal of the year and I will definitely recommend this place and will be coming back again for sure!
