    My experience was amazing. I took a date, vibe was energetic and romantic at the same time. The service was on point! Everyone was nice there was never a moment that I needed service and someone wasn’t there. The food was impeccable. Cooked just the way I love it. The seasoning, the portion size, and I had fish so it was cooked the right amount of crunchy. I can’t wait to go back again.
