The menu is full of delicious options. They had several specials for Easter that sounded wonderful. My husband and I don’t do well with rich foods/sauces so opted for the cheeseburger. It was delicious, cooked perfectly and quite big. Fries were cooked perfectly as well. Both the servers we saw were very pleasant. It was Avery nice an Easter dinner.

The entrees were surprisingly exceptional. Each of the dishes we selected was cooked to perfection and very flavorful. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. The dessert we tried was good, but did not blow us away like the entrees. The cocktails were very good and we enjoyed the bottle of wine that was suggested. An excellent place for a special dinner.

Truly such a great dining experience. Will took exceptional care of us. Every part of our meal was perfect. We started with the baguette and butter. The bread was crusty and delicious. Then they split a wedge salad for us and it was one of the best I have ever had. The blue cheese was soft and creamy and there was lots of it on each salad. And then the cioppino did not disappoint! It was made just like it should be, loaded with great seafood, and the broth made you want to clean your plate with your bread. We had after dinner coffee. And then Will made us a chocolate hazelnut martini for dessert. So wow! I can’t wait to go back again.

We had dinner on New Year's Eve. The service was fantastic and the manager, Derrick treated us like royalty! We had duck and Beef Wellington and both meals were excellent, especially on a tough night! I highly recommend this restaurant!
