When you walk into the venue, the interior design is breathtaking! The arrangement of tables allow for an intimate dining experience. Definitely a first date restaurant. The four rambunctious children at the next table were almost bearable at the distance from our table. Had it been anywhere else, we would have asked for another table or left. Our waiter was very professional (Gibbys should send some of their waiters here for training). The food was beautifully presented but not stellar. My Bass arrived 10 minutes after my husband's meal had arrived. Our wonderful Waiter gave a detailed description of the Bass that I could almost visualize the Fisherman reeling it in from the Mediterranean. I was extremely disappointed on what I had received. One portion was rubbery, lukewarm, & spongy. The other portion was mediocre. I was expecting the fish to be grilled & I even asked if the filets had been frozen. I ate the fresh one & even pointed out the difference between the skins/flesh of the fish. I was not expecting any reduction of price but for the time difference in main meal arrivals & elevated price I would have expected a manager to apologize for the delay (10 minutes is excessive) or an explanation/inquiry on why I thought the quality of the fish was not appreciated.

La nourriture était excellente mais nous avons demandé le reste de notre plat à emporter. Notre serveur ne nous à jamais donné notre doggy bag, qui a disparu en cuisine. C est inadmissible car nous avons payé cette nourriture.

Every milestone I've ever celebrated has taken place in this venue-from my bridal shower to my wedding-& each experience has been nothing short of extraordinary. The team here truly goes above & beyond. They anticipate your needs before you even think to ask, & every detail feels personal, thoughtful, & perfectly executed.

The space itself is stunning-elegant yet welcoming-& the ambiance makes every occasion feel special. Whether you're planning a once-in-a-lifetime event or just popping in for a fun Saturday night dinner, the experience is always exceptional.

The food is consistently spectacular, with flavors that impress even the toughest critics at the table.

This place feels like home, but with all the magic & care of a five-star experience. We keep coming back because we know we'll be treated like family-& because no other place compares.
