Service was impeccable. Nice selection of wines and cocktails. Shared the mushroom salad to start and it was perfect. The Aligator/crabcake entree was delicious as was the swordfish — the chef should bottle and sell the pepper jam condiment! The shared banana/caramel cheesecake desert was the perfect end to the meal.
