                                                            It was price fix night. I had the prime rib which was tasty but tough. My husband had the 2lb lobster for an extra fee. He said it was a bit dry and not very tasty.

                                                            I had the cod which was prepared with tomatoes and capers- delicious! My companion enjoyed the filet of sole meunière. We shared our favorite burnt broccoli. Another great meal at this restaurant.
