    Food is from scratch and really good! Our only complaint is that there were 4 of us and they sat us at a very small table, could barely fit our water glass plus a cocktail and restaurant was not busy at all on a Monday night so they could have sat us anywhere else. Waiter had good personality.

    Danny was amazing… recommended 3 fabulous dishes, we had a great time for Mother’s Day and Teacher Appreciation Week. Ash and the other restaurants were offering a nice discount for Teacher Appreciation Week. We will definitely be back for the ribeye, oysters, chicken cutlet and caramel namelaka. We also had the Valencia cocktail and bartender’s choice which was almost like an Arnold Palmer old fashioned. 10/10 experience thank you so much!
