I would recommend doing your research around food before heading there. If you choose the right food, it is like winning a lottery. The view is just amazing for any celebration, especially if you get a table by the window. Myself and my family had an amazing time there.

Each of our party of four ordered different entrees which we all totally enjoyed. The crab cake and chicken dip appetizers were both fantastic. Sadly, too full for dessert this trip! Our server had an amazing job, as well!
