Great service. Great food. Wife and I had a marvelous time. Too expensive to come often, but worth the special occasion spend. Only detractor was my drink could have used another shot of bourbon to balance the other ingredients. If you like bourbon, just get bourbon and skip the cocktail.

If I could give more stars I would! We went for our anniversary and they printed customized menu with our names on it and the head chef signed it. Service was top notch and the food was amazing - would highly recommend and we will be back!
