Honestly I went in with HIGH EXPECTATIONS. I wasn’t expecting fine dining because it’s not the most expensive, but it is the most disappointing. At one point they served raw vegetables in a bowl with sauces as a course. The content was witty but soon became childish very quickly. Absolutely nothing special about the dishes. The servers were great, attentive, and friendly. Also be careful because there are hidden fees. I’m sorry to leave a bad review, I didn’t want to but felt compelled to. Again it’s not the most expensive but for hundreds of dollars you’re better off eating at a nice where you’ll have a nice full belly and good drinks for the same price or less.
