    Always a great dining experience. Instead of eating at the bar, we opted for a table for 2 on V-day. I never realized how far back the restaurant went, so much room! The salmon with risotto is delicious. And the live music was a lot of fun. We'll be back soon. - LeeAnn

    We ate outside and it was fine. The food was generally good, but half the mussels didn’t open. We mentioned it to a bus boy who never arranged to bring any replacements. Other than that, the food was quite tasty. It did take a long time for the bread to arrive, but it did arrive warm.

    All 4 of the people in our party continually raved over our food. The Christmas Day buffet was superb both in taste and presentation. The ambiance was enjoyable and presented the perfect environment for family celebrations. The room volume was such that we were able to hold a conversation without raising our voices. The live entertainment was wonderful and enjoyed by all of us. We are already talking about returning next year.
