Starting with the Baked Camembert, Roasted Beet Goat Cheese Salad and our dinners of Bronzed Redfish, Mushroom & Gruyère Chicken Roulade and Grilled Pork Chop we can not say enough about the food. It was outstanding! Last but not least we had the Bananas Foster that was just out of this world. The service provided was impeccable.
