    We had the best dining experience of our lives last night! Our waitress knew it was our 5th anniversary and treated us like royalty! We had complimentary champagne and a salmon and caviar on a cracker appetizer! The food was cooked to perfection! I had the 14 ounce rib eye and my fiancé had the lobster Mac and cheese! We also had a very delicious complimentary dessert and an after dinner cocktail that tasted like cherry armaeto! One of the best restaurants in the city hands down! Thanks for the great service and experience! We’ll definitely be back but of course we are there fairly often!
