    I was a little disappointed because I inform that it was a birthday celebration and they didn't bring us a candle or a dessert with a message as a courtesy.

    We were not please with the table where we where seated. There was a constant flow of foot traffic which prevented us from having a peaceful meal. The food wasn't as tasty as in the past.

    I was here for my birthday celebration. We had the fillet mignon wagyu steak, mac and cheese lobster. We had a good time and the food was great. The place was also beautiful, very serene. They also gave us a complimentary cake for my birthday.
