Great restaurant! The food is high quality. Our only problem was Google maps headshot to the back of the hotel and you must enter through the front. Otherwise, the experience was great.

We had a great meal here. Camille (sp), our waiter, was fantastic. You can't miss him - tall gentleman, wearing a sailor's cap. Very attentive and informative. I have to be gluten free and he was able to guide us through the menu and create a safe meal for dining. We will be there again the next time we are in town.
