Excellent food and gracious service; however, they only serve one size of wine glass, which I consider large. I’d appreciate them offering a 4-oz glass of wine.

Celebrating the Christmas holiday with family. The cocktails were amazing. I highly recommend the filet mignon and New York strip. Our server, Parker D, was attentive and made wonderful recommendations regarding cocktails and entrees.

I ordered from the Christmas menu. I had the lobster bisque (very creamy and delicious), scallop dish (scallops were sweet and tender), and the chocolate lava cake (best ever). This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area.
