    One of the best meals I've ever had. I ordered the duck as my main entree which was outstanding. The starter and appetizer was so delicious and creative I wanted another. The dessert was a perfect finish to the meal. I can't give enough stars for this meal.

    My wife and I had out of town friends join us. We had a fantastic meal. Anthony took great care of us. The tacos were tasty. I had a turkey burger, diet restrictions', that had lots of flavor. The flatbread was consumed before I could try it.. All four of us had the lobster bisque soup and three of us had a good sized chunk of lobster. We also enjoyed the old fashion cocktails. My only complaint is I couldn't buy a gallon of the cocktails to bring home.
