"We came here for dinner and the place is great! The atmosphere is beautiful from the wonderful decorations for the holiday and the way the place is arranged was great! Our waitress was so nice and attentive as well as always checking to see if you need anything or how the food was. Service is great! Their drinks was superb! Love the lighting effects in the drinks! Food was omg delicious!!! We couldn't get enough of their mussels. The steak was cooked perfectly and the lamb chops were so awesome! I would definitely come here again!! Great place and well deserved 5 stars!!"

"Good food. Great service. HOWEVER - on NYE we were charged an exuberant about in "taxes". I noticed the bill and thought something was way off but I was not paying the bill so I let it go. We've been out to several restaurants/bars since and let me tell you - the bill was a similar amount but the tax was maybe $2. Shady. Look @ your bill carefully!"

"Steak tips were so tender and delicious. The big dessert combo is great when you can't choose you get to try everything. This place is awesome and has amazing food. The drinks come with a cute little light in it. The service is great too."

"This is the second time in the last month we’ve stopped here for dinner. First time we had dinner at the bar. The bartender was very attentive. I ordered haddock and my husband got chicken Marsala. The fish was good but we both agreed the broccoli had a very strange taste. We met another couple there this past Wed night and had April as our server. April was very good. We ordered garlic bread with cheese for appetizer. The bread they put on the table was stale. I don’t know why they called it garlic bread as we all agreed it had no garlic taste. The chicken wings weren’t very tasty either. Moving on to our dinners. 2 came out and then 5 minutes later the other 2. I ordered my burger medium. It came out like a hockey puck. Totally burnt and bacon was charcoal and fries were burnt as well. Nothing edible. Don’t know how this could have left the kitchen like this. This should have been embarrassing for restaurant to deliver this to a customer. We called over April when we saw her and she offered to have it recooked. By that time the others had almost finished their dinners so I asked for a side salad which was good but not the burger I wanted! My husband shared some of his risotto with me but we both agreed it wasn’t that good. We have been to this restaurant several times since they opened and the food is always a hit or miss. I give it 3 stars due to service otherwise I would have given it a 2 for food."
