    The food was amazing and Shan was the best server ! Will definitely be back !

  • June 26, 2026

    From the moment we walked in, the service was incredibly personal and genuinely welcoming—something that's becoming so rare these days. The staff made us feel like valued guests, not just customers. The food was fresh & flavorful. JESSICA is a gem she even entertained my little cousin by showering her a lobster! We will return and request her!

    Jessica was absolutely top tier! From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. She checked on us at all the right times without ever making us feel rushed, and she made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. Her positive attitude and exceptional customer service made our entire dining experience even better. It’s rare to come across someone who takes so much pride in what they do, and it truly shows. If you visit, I highly recommend asking for Jessica. She made our visit memorable, and we’ll definitely be back because of her! oh and her shrimp earrings were too cute and on brand.

    Great food but too much salt. If it weren’t for the excess salt the food would be more enjoyable. Please cut back on the amount of salt used.
