    Had an amazing daddy daughter date after father daughter dance and the staff ensured my daughter felt special and appreciated all the way down to calling her ma’am and for a 9 year old that made her feel so big with her special glass and special lavender lemonade. Price is steep but that goes with quality and as she called it a fancy experience so I didn’t mind. My daughter highly recommends the seafood scampi and gives 100 stars for the lemonade. Thank you we truly appreciate a special evening.

    Every Tuesday, I join about 6 of my mates for the $25 USD Fried Chicken and Ribs dinner. While the restaurant is or has white table cloths and suchnits fine dining that is very approachable and not at all pretentious. The food is always the best and the service attentive .
