Anniversary dinner. We ate inside with a great view of the waterfall. Outside look nice too. Wonderful meal with great service from Mary. My wife had the sea bass and I had the veal hunter meal. Both were delicious and they nicely handled my wife’s gluten free request. Topped off by delivering some champagne and dessert for free for our anniversary. Highly recommend and will back.

Dinner time is the target. 🥰😇✅💯❤️😊
