Wedding Anniversary Celebration! We arrived and waited in the lounge for a window table and are so glad we did. Wonderful view! We can recommend the Lobster Bisque and the Lamp Chops. Our server, Daniel, was marvelous and was supported by Laurel, who was a gem. Bethany in the lounge was very good and really took care of us.

Took my mom and husband to Afternoon Tea for a holiday celebration and it was great. The restaurant confirmed with me three times that they could accommodate my mom's food allergy ahead of time and her choices were excellent. The service and ambiance were outstanding and the food was delicious. My one wish is that it were just a bit quieter for conversation, but the noise level was still reasonable for a full restaurant. We ill definitely return for Afternoon Tea and I hope they consider offering it year round.
