- ISIliannaSLas Vegas •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoMy experience was great! It was date night for my partner and I and we genuinely enjoyed it. We were next to the DJ on the second floor and where I would’ve appreciated if the seater would’ve asked if we were okay sitting next to the DJ that’s okay. She wasn’t too loud. The food was GREAT.
