    Great ambience there the noise level was pretty high. There’s only so much you can do about that with a full dining room. Steamed shrimp appetizer was phenomenal although the toast ends up mush. I regret ordering the steak, while the texture was great there was no sign of seasoning at all. The side half of a squash with a pull-up butter in it. It was OK at best. Strawberry shortcake had a good flavor, although there was a pool of water at the bottom which then created another bowl of mush. I think with a few different menu choices, I would’ve liked it better. We had a gift card. I certainly would not want to pay for menu price for what we received.
