Our server was absolutely amazing. Our experience was extra special for my husband’s birthday. We want to thank everyone for making us all feel good after having some nice celebration and grief we’ve experienced with their mom passing last Thursday. Every item we ordered was absolutely perfection and delicious! We loved that the server called him by the nickname I put in our reservation and everyone felt so cared for during our entire experience.

Had a wonderful experience celebrating a friend’s birthday here. We arrived at a lovely table adorned with yellow petals, with a signed birthday card waiting for us. The staff not only acknowledged my friend’s birthday but also made sure she felt special, from asking for her order first to placing a birthday candle on her dessert. It made for a memorable evening for the birthday girl. We started with roasted pork belly sitting on a butternut squash puree, which was incredibly soft and flavorful. The grilled apples complemented the dish perfectly. For the entrée, I had the ribeye, a 28-day dry-aged prime grade Angus beef, served with bordelaise sauce and accompanied by roasted sweet corn, crab mac and cheese, and lobster mashed potatoes. The highlight of the evening for me was the bananas foster. Prepared tableside, a drizzle of rum was then ignited in the pan, causing a flame to swirl above it, resplendent in its glow. The taste of the caramelized bananas with the rum infused sauce was so delicious that I wished I had gotten seconds. The service was phenomenal. Our waitstaff was attentive and checked on us multiple times, ensuring our needs were satisfied and making l sure our drinks were never empty. The ambiance was lovely with live music, though the lighting was quite dark. Though we didn’t request it, I saw a staff member walk a woman to the bathroom, his arm bent at the elbow while she held onto it, and his other hand holding a small blue flashlight to illuminate their path. It’s the little attention to detail that made this dining experience exceptional.
