Came here for restaurant week but we were disappointed that they changed the menu AND increased the price. We got the ceviche but it was way too sour and the fish was really mushy. The short rib and risotto was really good though so all my good food points go that this. As for dessert we ordered both the cheesecake and the chocolate hazelnut cake. Both were alright and not something we would order again.

Perfect spot for dinner! Music was on point, there was a live DJ playing and hidden towards the top corner of the restaurant. There was a live fire dancing performance. Food and drinks were amazing! Me and 9 girls came here on a Saturday night to celebrate my bestie’s bachelorette dinner.. Great ambiance, great service!Everything was PERFECT!

Went here for my birthday and had A great time. Waiter was great with recommendations and we never felt rushed as we were casually ordering throughout the 3 hours we were there.

Our group of 4 shared the bison burger (delicious but order the cheese sauce on the side like we did), truffle fries (came on the side- just average) and 4 of sushi rolls- SO Good… flavors, freshness, presentation in a tray with dry ice smoke! No Way Rose drink was tasty but a bit on the sweeter side… others ordered vodka tonics - nicely heavy on the vodka. Jack was our server- he was charming, efficient, and just fun! Fun ambiance & decor!

Ambiance is chic. Beautifully decorated with velvet booths and jungle effect hanging plants. Food was fantastic. Our waitress was darling and super nice but needed a bit more training to work in a restaurant setting. The gentleman that assisted our waitress serve was well trained and helpful and attentive. . Overall a fabulous experience. Look forward to next visit.

The food was very good but the waitress was very bad we asked pith waiters to get us more drinks and she never came back to see if we needed anything and then when we asked for the birthday girl to get a desert and the check she never came back and 20 mins later another waitress came and handed us the check. We then explained what happened she was very sweet and told us that our table had been handed to her but she was never told. It kind of ruined the night.
