The food was excellent and our service was as well. The ambience is dramatic and interesting. The noise level was high because there was live music/singing - which was also very professional and enjoyable.

Beautiful restaurant with great music. It can be a bit loud, but very manageable to still speak/listen to others. The staff was very kind and only came by the table for orders, drinks, or to refill water. Overall, great food, music, and staff making it an enjoyable experience for occasions with friends and family.
