    Somewhat costly but always a unique experience with great food and personalized service. My only suggestion would be that they provide a little more chocolate fondue during the dessert course. We always seem to run out of it before we have a chance to dip everything into it.

    Wonderful birthday celebration. The rose and strawberries added a special touch. They also brought some birthday cake for dipping.

    It was quite the experience! The menu offers tasty food options and accomodations! The 4 course dining option is very much worth it. Every course came out in a timely manner. Enjoyed every moment of it! My favorite was of course, the dessert!

    It was a wonderful dinner and a terrific experience but $500 for four people is extreme in my opinion. We have gone in the past but haven't been in a while and we were expecting the bill to be around 300 and it definitely was not if you're looking for a great restaurant and you don't mind spending a time. This is a great place but if $500 meals are not in your budget...this may not be the place.

    It was amazing! We loved the option of rose petals on the table for our date night. It was very romantic, intimate, and a great fancy date night overall. My husband and I will be returning again for our next fancy date night.

    We were there for a birthday and it was noted that it was a birthday. It was not acknowledged at all; which was disappointing. The food was good; with the exception of the duck breast which was gamey. Our server was kind and attentive. I don’t believe you get the value for the money. We paid $80 per person and my daughter and I shared the main course. We left hungry, but our wallets were definitely lighter.

    I believe our servers name was Kyle and he was amazing. He was super friendly and attentive to our table. The food and ambiance were very romantic and I think this will be an anniversary tradition for me and my girlfriend.

    I requested a more private booth and we were sat in a pretty open area in the back. It wasn't ideal and was much brighter in that area. It was a different vibe than I'm used to at this location. The food and service were good as always.
