We enjoyed everything about this experience. Our food came really quick and hot and good. Both me and my partner will eat there again because even for the price it was excellent. The taste was perfect. They even gave me a free dessert for my birthday! I recommend this place to anyone.

Came in for a anniversary dinner at 5:30 and had the best experience! It was pretty much empty when we arrived(pretty understandable For a Monday) and we got a table by the windows in the front. We got the rolls and wagyu beef as apps. Both were amazing, we were quite literally drooling over them. The restaurant picked up quite a bit after that as we ate dinner but never got too loud. We got the scallops and the gnocchi! Also both amazing. I work in food service and I was pleasantly impressed with the beautiful plate ups. I didn’t want to touch anything! Server was so kind and sweet. Overall a very good experience!! 10/10 would recommend.

Not impressed by wait staff that worked with us that night. Arrogant and not friendly. Not impressed by the manager who came to the table to address what I would call as very minor request to our waiter that he himself could have given a simple response to and we would have been fine either way. I often ask myself if I would hire people that I come across and I can tell you absolutely no way would I hire either. Too bad as food and drinks were great.
