    Our server Lisa was spectacular. She didn’t miss a beat for my wife’s birthday celebration. The drinks were great although I was a little disappointed that her martini was $41 while mine was $20. The chef prepared our butcher special of 34 oz. tomahawk steak perfectly. Mac and cheese and broccolini were both delicious. Our server’s assistant Oswaldo was very attentive. We will certainly return.

    My wife and I came here for her birthday, and we had an excellent experience. The decor and atmosphere were very warm and welcoming. Since it was a Monday, it was not too crowded, and we were able to choose where we wanted to sit. The setting felt very cozy, and there was even a fan nearby that kept us comfortably cool. Antonella, our waitress, greeted us right away with menus and kindly asked if we wanted water. We requested no ice, and she brought it promptly. We also asked for recommendations on mocktails, and she suggested the Espresso Martini and the Passion Fruit Margarita — both were fantastic. For appetizers, my wife had the calamari while I tried the Angus Burger Sliders (2). Everything was extremely tasty. For the main course, my wife ordered the Grilled Salmon and I had the Pappardelle Bolognese — both dishes were absolutely delicious. To finish the evening, we ordered dessert. I had the Chocolate Ganache and my wife enjoyed the Crème Brûlée with a candle on top, courtesy of Bellagio Terrace, which was a very thoughtful touch. Overall, we truly had a wonderful time and would definitely come back again.
