    This is a high-end dining experience. But in my opinion, you are rewarded for what you pay for. It was our second time to dine here in the past year and we were not disappointed on our return trip. The menu and specials are all excellent choices, the service and atmosphere are great for a romantic dinner or an intimate dinner with a few other friends. The service has always been great with the waiters seeming to know the dishes and how they are prepared as well as the chef. You can't find the unique atmosphere and views of The Grand or Southern Roots anywhere else. You'll want this restaurant on your list of places to experience.

    Beautiful restaurant with great service. Our food was okay—husband’s salad was drowning in dressing and my mushroom risotto was too salty. I had the crab/corn chowder and it was delicious and my husband’s tenderloin was very good. We will give this restaurant another try for sure just ask for less dressing and salt.

    The food and atmosphere were fabulous, and the wait staff were exceptional! Our server, Julia, was very attentive and engaging! Could not be more pleased. Our chocolate/fruit sampler for our anniversary was very thoughtful…should have taken a photo of the ‘Happy Anniversary’ chocolate.
