Had a great time. Friendly staff, someone always checking on us, ambience was nice, fun electric music. Only cons were the silverware could have been a bit cleaner/polished and the table numbers need to be sorted better because we had 3 different dishes brought to us that we didn't order. Music was a bit too loud at some point that we had to yell to hear the waiter

I loved the ambience, it had a Miami feel. The fire dance was so fun to watch! I was quite disappointed in the food. We ordered 40oz tomahawk for the table, I was excited for it but unfortunately it came out overcooked and super charred. It was really hard to chew and eat because of the char.
