Ordered Surf and Turf, Butternut Squash soup, Wolfgang Salad,Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail, Chilean Sea Bass (Sautéed), side dish of grilled asparagus and Irish Coffee for dessert. Plenty of food for both of us. Lots of doggie bags for dinner. Everything was delicious. Cooked to perfection. Waitstaff were all very attentive. Loved seeing families together on this special day.

This wasn’t just a meal, this was an experience! Of course the food was amazing—uncomplicated and delicious! What topped it off was the service—the hostess was so attentive, checking in with me regularly. The chef himself came to the table to present two of the courses, kindly explaining them to me. Definitely request the tasting menu if you’re willing to spend a little extra!

We were lucky to get seats at the chef’s table. The kitchen is well run and efficient. Food was excellent. Calamari was fresh and tender with a tasty aioli sauce accompanying the usual marinara. We had swordfish tacos - tasty grilled fish with fresh ingredients. The seafood risotto had generous amounts of lobster and shrimp with two seared scallops. Checking out at about $100 with tip for two this was a good value. BYOB.
