Very romantic setting. Hostess and Servers were outstanding!! Very polite, not over bearing in any way. Perfect chill spot for a date nite, or anniversary!

Enjoyed dinner here for our anniversary, pomegranate Martinis were tasty, sensation salad with pistachios was different which I liked the crunch.... Entrees were Mahi on the Cedar Plank and a 16oz Ribeye for the man ;) And of course the Anniversary brownie was very rich. Make sure you bring your pocketbook!! Overall a nice evening, nice atmosphere and the service was great.

Enjoyable experience at this restaurant! I sat in the bar area since it was only me. The service from the bartenders was great, the drinks were strong, and the food was delicious. I ordered the BBQ shrimp pasta, which I recommend. I’ve had a bbq shrimp pasta in New Orleans that wasn’t this good. Plus, you get a hot log of bread with dipping sauce so what’s not to love? Would definitely stop here again during my travels.
