    Party of six enjoyed a relaxed meal celebrating two birthdays. Food was excellent and variety of choices includes great options for vegetarian diet. Steaks were perfect. Enjoyed king crab appetizer and a unique zucchini one. Our server was fantastic- took time to explain menu options, took some photos for us and right level of attention. (Erin M).

    As always, good experience. It's too bad they're closing the end of December. A little understaffed and service was a little slow but everything was really good.
