    This was my first visit here. I absolutely enjoyed all aspects of our evening. We started at the bar, walked around outside, breathtaking, and then had dinner inside. They accommodated my food allergies perfectly and were very friendly. Love it.

    Excellent Valentines Day experience . The special menu had enough choices to have something for everyone, and the food was delicious and service was excellent. The prices were elevated for the Valentine’s Day , which I do understand. Gotta make that money . I get it. Some of the prices did seem excessive though. For example , one small crabcake (maybe 3 oz) was $19. The filet mignon offering looked like a pretty modest cut , maybe (5-6 oz precook). I guess I’m just saying for $100, per person , the food was very good , but I don’t know that I would say a great ‘value’. They definitely marked up for the holiday.

    My husband and I went here for a pre-Valentine's day dinner. The atmosphere was great for conversation. It started with wonderful wine selections and progressed to amazing food. I loved the crab dip and the salmon, and the cheesecake was to die for! The service was excellent as well. I feel that everyone in the room was paying attention to clearing our plates and our server Curtis didn't leave us wanting anything. He was also very pleasant and had great recommendations. I will be back to try their wine tasting evenings, since the wine was so good tonight.
