The food was excellent. Presentation was beautiful. The staff was very attentive without being pesky. The flow of serving the food was very good. I highly recommend this place for a special occasion. I would recommend the specials of the day. The crembrulee sweet potato was SOOO delicious, you must try it! It is on the pricey side.
