Everything was amazing! From the hostess to our server Blake. Staff was very attentive and we also had a chance to chat with our prior server, Shianne. Food was delicious and every dish came out beautifully prepared. My only “complaint” was that the oxtails were not on the menu but Chef Martel was able to share why. Wonderful experience and music definitely gets an honorable mention.
