    We celebrated our 21 year anniversary, they gave us personalized menus and our server was wonderful. Everything was delicious but the Chilean Sea Bass is phenomenal. You are packed in close to others and we had a fantastic time listening to the unfiltered conversations around us. A mix between Seinfeld and The Golden Girls. If you stay locally let your hotel know where you are dining and they might have an appetizer coupon for you.
