- EWElonya Ware1 day ago5.0Our server AA was great! He was nice and tell me everything I needed to know and was able to help me pick the best meal. We sat out side and had a wonderful experience.
- JJJada Johnson4 days ago5.0This was my first time at this resident and it was AMAZING. I enjoyed the ambience, food, and service. Alexander Anderson was our waiter and he was so patient, informative and funny. Great energy and would highly recommend him
- ACAmerica CedenoNov 17, 20254.0The food was AMAZING! The flavors were explosive and every dish was delicious.. the Shrimp & Crake “Cheesecake” was my favorite. The lamb chops were too dry for med-rare and could have used a little for sauce to balance that out. But overall, I was impressed with the food. The table service was cold, not as a friendly or personable as I am used to. Other than that, I would return again for a second try..!
- KCkoolaid cooNov 9, 20252.0I really wanted to love this place, but it simply did not meet expectations. The atmosphere and overall quality of the setting were excellent, but the service was absolutely terrible. Aside from the general manager and head of staff checking in twice during our 2–3 hour dining experience, the rest of the service was unacceptable. I understand that we had a table of six adults and two children, but it took nearly one to two hours before we even received our entrées. Throughout the meal, our table was largely ignored, servers rarely checked on us, and when they did, they were dismissive and unprofessional. Several times, staff bumped into guests while placing plates and silverware, and some appeared unable to communicate effectively in English, which made ordering unnecessarily difficult. When servers did approach our table, it was often to ask, “Do you need an explanation of the menu?” a question repeated multiple times while we were still waiting to place our orders. It was frustrating to have to flag down staff just to be acknowledged, and waiting nearly two hours for our meals was unacceptable. Overall, the service was terrible, the food was decent, and while I don’t mind paying $600 for a table of eight, I expect the service to reflect that price point.
- JCJoseLuis CastañedaNov 9, 20253.0The place is so beautiful. We sat at the patio surrounded by plants, very Tuscany. My wife had the fruta de Mari pasta. She said it was delicious. I ordered the snapper which was mediocre. No flavor and cold. The mushrooms were outstanding. We celebrated our anniversary and we were given a delicious chocolate cake.
