    Everything from server, food, attention to detail, was beyond our expectations and our expectations were high. It was our 40th wedding anniversary and the staff were attentive and friendly and helpful. Every item was perfectly prepared. The bacon wrapped scallops with the leafy greens and lemon lime vinaigrette was delicious and fun. Lobster was perfectly done. The crispy Brussel sprouts stole the show! These are things you can't get at home. So much fun and romantic. It's days later and we're still talking about it. Shout out to Leah, our server. She couldn't have been more helpful,friendly,and truly interested in us and our experience.

    Very nice dinner! Our server was very friendly and offered suggestions. We were waiting for one, so maybe that is why our service was a bit slow. Took a while to take the orders and seemed like a while for food to come out. Then, bread, apps and dinner all came out at once. Overall a very good experience and food tasted great!
