25th Anniversary dinner. The food was wonderful. Ordered the New York, Ribeye, Lobster Mac and Cheese and Fries ( the kid!) and an Amaretto Sour. Everything was cooked perfectly and devoured. They had us choose a dessert on them. Cheesecake with Blueberry Compote. So good. The table was very sweet with cutout hearts and the menus said Happy Anniversary on them. We enjoyed our evening very much.

Great food, service terrific, and quality of ingredients amazing. I would recommend only two people go. The tables/booths are small and cramped for four people. I will definitely go back with only one other person.
