The food was excellent and our server was great! Fantastic view. The tables and chairs could be updated/upgrade; that's the only reason for a lower ranking. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Great portions for the price. Delightful food combinations that are unique and so tasty. The restaurant extension is so airy and welcoming with the white drapery and lights. It was a perfect venue for a retirement party. We had a child in our group and the restaurant had a generous kids menu as well.
