    I had the best experience visiting the restaurant, from the moment I booked on email Scott Payle was very helpful, he answered all the questions I had. The restaurant is beautiful, the service was excellent and the food was great.

    Food was not prepared as ordered, and the server's response was not proactive in resolving the issue.. Disappointing attention to detail overall.
