    My husband and I were celebrating our Anniversary. The waiter greeted us with a glass of champagne. This was very unexpected and just added a wonderful touch to our experience. The food was outstanding and the waiter couldn’t have been more attentive. Thumbs up for this fabulous restaurant.

    We had a gift certificate which was great; prices were on the high side but true to form and advertising, the meal was spectacular; caesar salad, lobster bisque, ahi tuna and pecan encrusted salmon (cooked perfectly rare as I requested). Our waiter Nick was attentive but not overbearing. We had cocktails before dinner; a French Blond and a Bourbon Manhattan, perfect. This is a special place to enjoy an excellent eating experience.
