    As always, my partner and I had a fantastic date night at Creekwood. Our first date restaurant has become our every date restaurant. It’s warm and cozy. Waiters are attentive and helpful. And the food. The food! Never had anything here that wasn’t fantastic. Our bill came in at under $100 for both of us, including two of the pricier glasses of wine (consumed by me; excellent Bordeaux blend). Love this place!

    We had a choice to sit outside or inside - I think either would have been lovely but we chose outside and sat around the fire table - between the fire table, heat lamp and cozy blankets, the temperature was perfect even on a somewhat chilly night and you could not beat the wonderful atmosphere. It was our first time here but will not be the last.
