Rated 4 out of 5 by Lisa N from Was great. Only negative was it was hard to get an initial waitstaff to take our order. Was a lot of confusion with waitstaff. Additionally the kitchen was the loudest I’ve ever encountered. It was not a quiet dinner due to the loudness of staff.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Myryame M from Nice greeting from Jamie, the manager. We had a private room for our birthday celebration, with the balloon bouquet I had ordered. We enjoyed creating our own 4 course meals. Perfect service from Branden. When we got home, there was a phone message from Jamie letting us know they had found a bag we left behind.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Steve W from The food was very good and there was plenty of it. I would have liked a timer on the table to help determine when the food (especially the chicken) was done.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kristin H from The service was excellent and level of interaction the perfect balance of being interested in our evening and allowing us to enjoy our time out. On top of that, our server went above and beyond and brought us a small extra for celebrating several special events.
