    An absolute perfect experience from start to finish. We were celebrating an anniversary. There was a card on the table for us upon arrival and complimentary sparkling wine with dessert. We shared the tomahawk with the baked spinach and a massive baked potato. I’m glad we only ordered one. For dessert we had the carrot cake(scrumptious) and the salted caramel chocolate chip gelato with an espresso pour over (affogato). Our server Peter was magnificent. He made our special evening even more so. We will chose 22 over and over again for our future occasions and ask for Peter. Thanks for a fantastic time!
