We had a great time and the food was once again delicious. Jessica was fantastic and we enjoyed our dinner. We have already talked about coming again to try other food. The cooks there know what they are doing! ❤️❤️ Loved the extra special touch of giving roses out at the end of dinner, that was so kind.

been going here for years and the food and service has always been good. The staff is very friendly and always have a smile to welcome you. The views are great (especially if you like looking out over a golf course). Can get a little pricey but then, good food doesn't come cheap.

This was an amazing experience and I'm so thrilled we picked this place. I brought date there for a pre-valentine's dinner and we really couldn't have chosen better. The food was perfect, and the staff in particular were terrific They come to the table and actually make some dishes in front of you in an elaborate display that's fun to watch. I definitely recommend the tiramisu. :-)
