    My husband and I went for my birthday. I had the Ahi Tuna and he had the Baked Garlic Parmesan Cod; we both had the Wild Rice and for a small upcharge, the Brussel Sprouts. Everything was cooked perfectly and super flavorful. The tuna is encrusted in white sesame seeds and has a Wasabi and Soy Ginger glaze that is absolutely amazing. We were also lucky enough to enjoy an apple cobbler that was a special dessert they don’t always have. We will be back soon as this place is a favorite and hasn’t disappointed us yet.

    Food was outstanding, as well as the services. Just wish they would have they Oysters... we scheduled the trip into town on Wednesday, just to partake of the Oysters. However, just to repeat myself, the food and service was great! We really enjoyed the evening. Steak was cooked perfectly! Salmon was super tasty, as well as the pork chop. And the stuff jalapenos appetizer worked as nice substitute for the oysters. Great job!
