    The food was excellent. Our server, Ari, was very knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations. Our one complaint is that the music was rather loud and not particularly conducive to enjoying the meal. Otherwise, we loved everything.

    Went for my birthday lunch. First time to eat here. Had a fantastic time. Russell was our waiter and made our lunch experience even better. Food was great, came out quickly. However they did not rush us at all. Drinks were had, all very good. Russell had given us some ideas for drinks and food, but no pressure. We had the amazing bread service and was friendly reminded to not fill up on just the bread, and for good reason. We got plenty of items to share. Overall a wonderful meal, wonderful service, and a wonderful day was had! Will definitely come back.
