"My husband and I came for date night and we had a reservation for the bar. They were able to sit us within 10 mins. The service was phenomenal! You normally don’t get such great service from younger staff but everyone was very attentive from the host to the bar tenders and waitresses. The music was so good, we had to ask for the playlist and they sent us the link for it. We will definitely be back. The atmosphere was perfect too. We asked to speak to the chef to give compliments but he was very busy which was understandable because it was packed! We hope you all stay around and are successful. We will be back! "
