    First of all, the food here is scrumptious‼️The service is top tier, from the phone to in person totally professional and kind. Melissa is the manager that I met over the phone and thankfully met in person whom had an attention to detail and works with a spirit of excellence. Alec, who took care of my guests went above and beyond, his knowledge of the menu and business blew my mind. The ambiance in this location is second to none‼️ They even have a space for private parties! This is the place that you want to be. Don’t worry, they have valet parking as well! You must come here tell Melissa Nathan sent you. Thank you Lettuce Entertain You for have such a high quality restaurant and staff‼️ I highly recommend this place‼️
