    Amazing! From this year’s oyster and bread basket appetizers to the crème brûlée dessert…a delicious meal with great friendly service. We have come here for the past seven years (for our anniversary dinner) and have never been disappointed.

    There were 4 of us and we all loved what we had. Calamari was delicious, lightly. Relaxed and 2 dip options, beer and goat cheese salad was delicious, and we all loved our entrees (steaks and prime rib). Garlic mashed potatoes are flavorful and the cheese cake and cherry jubilee brownie desserts were shared among us. All enjoyed immensely. Our server Eman was awesome, she joined in our banter and was attentive without hovering.
