    Everything about spending my birthday dinner here was fantastic. The ambience is amazing with the twinkling lights and all the plants. Despite being in a fairly open room, the shelving with plants on it helped to create an illusion of privacy. The food was fantastic, we got the carbonara pizza (yum) and it was the perfect combo of pizza and pasta. (a sentence I never imagined I would say) The drinks were fantastic. I had the Guava Verde, the Dragonfly, and the L.I.V.I.N. and they were all up my very sweet tooth oriented alley. (I have a particular weakness for anything with fruit in it as well)

    The food was excellent (lobster and 7 oz. sirloin steak) with the sides and the waitress, Shakura, was very sweet and efficient. She made our visit very rewarding.
