"This place is a little hard to find, but the food was worth it! The service and cuisine were outstanding. I had the grilled octopus and it was tender and delicious. The only knock down I have for the place is that the main dining area (we ate in a separate more private area) was lit like the noon-day sun and the table arrangement gave the place the feel of a cafeteria. A nice cafeteria, but nonetheless. This place could be incredible if they had a better atmosphere for diners."

"I had an amazing experience here. The server we got was attentive, very friendly and was overall just made it a very comfortable experience. I highly recommend this place. Not to mention the food was 10/10. I love going to new spots and trying out food I can truly say this place went above my expectations. When leaving, multiple workers also said goodbye and thanked us for coming. I loved the atmospere and I recommended the place to my sister for a great date night. Shout out to the cook who made the food because WOW. I got the scallops and an expresso martini and it was perfect. My friend ordered a steak and wine he loved it too! If i can give it a higher rating on the taste of the food and the service the server provided us with I would."

"A great experience, attentive staff (thank you Christian and Gabe for making this dinner special), and excellent food. I could see this place being a good environment for those corporate type dinners considering the amount of space available and drink selection. For that matter, on the other spectrum, it has some quieter spots for the anniversary couples. Highly recommend."

"The drinks were watered down. I had 2 drinks. It felt like I drunk 2 glasses of water. Everything was over priced. Most people ordered chicken sandwich because it was the had a reasonable price. I ordered shrimp risotto but was highly disappointed. The shrimp still had the full shell, head, legs,tail etc. I've never seen a shrimp & risotto/grits type of dish served like this. I had to get my hands dirty from all the peeling. The risotto was getting cold while I peeled the shrimp. It was inconvenient."

"We went to dinner here last night using the Travel Zoo promotion. The restaurant is gorgeous! Cozy yet open and spacious so you're​ not in other tables conversations. The food was delicious! I had the chicken dish and it was moist and flavorful. My friend had the salmon and it was cooked to perfection! The only downside was that the service wasn't exactly what I would have expected from a restaurant of this caliber. We had to look for our server a few times and ask for more water. We had a bit of a difficult time understanding him at times. All in all the food and ambiance was amazing, service left a bit to be desired but still worth it."
