    The food was wonderful, my filet was amazingly delicious, and I’m very temperamental about how it’s prepared. It was perfect. The service was fantastic and we had a wonderful time. We also loved our table with a view. A great way to celebrate our birthdays! Thank you. We also appreciate the manager checking on us. Thank you again for making our evening special.

    They were very accommodating with our reservation, we were a half hour early and with one additional guest and they seated us right away. The food and service were excellent. Then, after we got caught up just sitting and talking for over an hour after our meal ended they offered us a cozy spot at the bar and complementary dessert so we could just continue talking. That was very thoughtful and kind on their part. It was a great experience overall.

    I’ve been looking forward to coming here since I was able to get a reservation. The food, drinks, and service were all great! My favorite drink was the milk punch of Thai tea. My favorite dish we had was the chili crisp barbecue chicken.
