There were 4 of us and both couples were celebrating Anniversaries. We loved every aspect of our complimentary Champagne to the excellent service. We tried all of the suggestions by our server ( Michael) and thoroughly enjoyed each one of them. We were seated near the window as requested and had a wonderful evening experience. Thank You to all the staff and kitchen for making our Anniversary so special. We can't wait to return!
