    The chef’s featured item is simply incredible. The oysters were fresh and bursting with flavor. The steak with garlic potatoes was equally amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed every dish.

    We were blown away! Not sure why it wouldn’t let me reserve the 7 or 8 pm slots because we were the only two people in the entire room! But it was very romantic and I was surprised! Service was EXCELLENT! Mood was perfect, food was EXCEPTIONAL!!!! And the price was so low I had planned on spending 300$ for this experience but it was literally 160$ for appetizers, drinks, 2 meals, and dessert!!!! Like what??? We will definitely be back!!!! 10/10. Highly recommend!!! My woman was blown away and is still bragging to her friends about it and still saying thank you!!! I knocked it outnof the park with this one fellas!!!! U must take her there!!!! Trust me 😉
