The atmosphere was lively, the service was top-notch, and the food was fantastic. I ordered the salmon, which was incredibly delicious, and my husband loved his beautifully cooked steak. Our friend thoroughly enjoyed the lamb chops. The drinks were tasty and there were plenty to choose from. The attention to detail in the presentation and decor, including the captivating smoke effects, really added to the overall experience. The live music on Sunday night was a nice touch. We would definitely come back and highly recommend this restaurant to others.

People were trying to leave but were blocked by servers and carving carts. I even heard the manager or host telling patrons they couldn't leave until the servers were finished. The Ribeye steak I ordered was too fatty for the price. My friend had to send his old fashioned drink back twice because it was not made properly. Overall, it was not a good experience and I will not be returning. Additionally, a 20% gratuity is automatically added to the bill regardless of service quality, and our server had the nerve to suggest we add more because the $50 would be split among all servers, not going directly to him.

Even though we didn't mention it was my partner's birthday, the restaurant surprised us with sparklers and a birthday banner. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back!

Only problem is there is no parking.

Unfortunately, the experience was quite the opposite. The food was a letdown. My lamb chops was bland and overcooked, and my partner's filet minion lacked flavor. On top of that, the table where we were seated was very wobbly and unstable. The love potion drink I ordered was entirely too strong to taste.To make matters worse, the music was incredibly loud and upbeat. It wasn't the kind of atmosphere you'd expect for a sit-down dinner, and it made conversation difficult. Overall, the combination of bland food, ratchet music along with guests created a disappointing dining experience. Not to mention per my request to have someone sing Happy Birthday to me did not happen which was an even bigger disappointment. Regarding dress code it states that it was dressy casual but there were guests there dressed like they were attending a day party with jeans t shirts and gym shoes.We won't be returning any time soon.
