   I made a reservation for Easter Sunday brunch because they had advertised an Easter event. They said with the admission you would receive a free bubbly. When i asked the waiter about it he didn’t know about the event. He asked the manager and he also wasn’t aware of such event. I then looked up the actual flyer from the restaurant promoting this, showed it to the waiter and he said “Ok i will tell the manager” and never brought it up again. It wasn’t even about the free glass of champagne, it was the fact that no one knew about the event THE ACTUAL restaurant promoted and even after showing proof they didn’t care to grant us the drink. My steak was very dry- even though i asked for medium temperature, and just the whole ambiance was so off. What a disappointment especially on a holiday!

   We had a wonderful Easter brunch here. Incredible served, ambience and food. Loved the live music as well. And the fact that we could still talk and hear one another was also a plus.

   Automatically charged 20% gratuity and should have disclosed that. We always tip 20%, so the server doesn't need to report it and didn't approve. There was only two of us, not like it was a big group. Bathrooms were disgusting. It was nice atmosphere inside, but smaller than expected. We won't return.

   Food was barely tolerable. Service was fair. 20% tip added to check and they requested even more tip. On top of that a 3.75% credit card fee was just too much! Too many great restaurants to waste your money!

   Very slow to bring cocktails to the table after ordered (asked for jalapeños in my martini and the very nice server (Lexi) came back to report that they were out of jalapeños. Out of Jalapeños? Come on). Music which was terrific was way too LOUD. We practically had to yell to carry on a conversation across our table.

   Dinner for four with one drink was $300. No entree more than $32. The quality did not meet the price.

    We came for Lisette Melendez but ended up having a trifecta of a great time! Made a 6:45pm dinner reservation for 6 guests with Karina. I requested being “as close to the performer as possible” and she made it happen!!! Having never been there before, I didn’t realize that there was a 2hr time limit on the table. But everything worked out just fine. We started with drinks and appetizers. The food is not only delicious, but an excellent value! Huge portion of fresh mussels in a tasty white wine garlic butter, saucy buffalo cauliflower florets, and a tuna tartare that was a perfect combo of layered flavors. The entrees were even more impressive! Ordered the branzino with a light lemon caper sauce topped with juicy cherry tomatoes and the Ribeye a flawless medrare! The server timed our orders perfectly and the kitchen delivered on point! Czr salad accompanied the steak in a side bowl and was dressed just right with big shavings of cheese! DJ Johnny Quest kept the music flowing for hours allowing us to enjoy dancing between courses while we anxiously awaited the star of the night. The crowd was energetic and it put us in the best mood! So between the incredible meal, fabulous dance music, and great company…to say we can’t wait to return is an understatement!!!
