If I could give zero stars I would, but I can't, they advertise events and don't deliver what they promise, I don't recommend this place to anyone unless you want to waste your money by only listening to background music when you paid for a supposed show, do it...

Came to a concert. Paid almost $500 for a “VIP table”. They set up the table last minute had me waiting 30 minutes to sit, and another 30 minutes to order service. There was no organization, our views were blocked, and the people in charge really don’t care. Save your money and go somewhere else. It’s a shame how they handle their business. Won’t ever go back.

It was very hot and the toilet close to the entrance was nothing to write home about, it was in a terrible condition and dirty!

Months before Covid-19 began I booked this restaurant for my daughters first birthday. I messaged for weeks about details and made a $750 down payment for the venue. Once COVID began the entire world was lockdown. I thought I would immediately get a refund from the owners daughter or niece whoever Natalia is. But I was met with deleted message and blocked phone numbers. I finally got intouch with the daughter and she asked for my address, email address , and phone number. She assured me that I would get a FULL REFUND since my daughter is 2 almost 3 now. Still I have not heard anything back from the rest or the daughter in charge of the event planning. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THEM YOU BUSINESS. THEY PREY ON PEOPLE FOR THEIR BUSINESS BUT DO NOT WANT TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES YOU PAY FOR. Unacceptable I will be reporting this business to the BBB and hopefully I will get my refund back! Disrespectful and disgusting business practices.

Met some friends for drinks on the bar side. There were 3 bathrooms and not one had soap or a properly shutting door. The “womens” room had the toilet seat lying on the floor next to the toilet.

We like a lot going out. Last night we visited this superb place which friends recommended to us. We had a delightful experience there with great meal and an experienced team and a distinguished cuisine. We added this fine restaurant in our list and we shall no doubt come back very soon. We warmly recommend.
