We had a lovely dinner here. The service was warm and efficient, the cocktails were excellent (and huge!) We each had the roast chicken which was fantastic - appreciated the ability to customize our salad, sides, etc. dessert was awesome too! Don’t miss this hard to find gem (tucked away in a strip mall next to Handel’s.)

Ah-mazing dining here! We had the lobster bisque which is some of the best you can get anywhere. We then split a 1.5 lb plate of Alaskan king crab legs. Really good! Service is good here, too.
