    We were four in our group. Our orders were Lobster Risotto, filet mignon and salmon. Each of our meals were delicious and full of flavor.

    Always a great meal! Thought the chicken Madeira was a little over salted. But the tuna tower was to die for!! Husband enjoyed his steak and friend enjoyed the burger. Still one of my fave restaurants!

    We were seated in a quiet area with no overhead speakers allowing long time friends a chance to talk and enjoy our company. Oue service was slow but responsive leaving us ample time to linger over good meals and good company conversation.

    We had an amazing birthday celebration! Our server Katelyn (sp?) went above and beyond to make the evening memorable. The cocktails were generous and delicious, and the fish tacos and steak frites divine. The creme brule was perfect and the birthday girl chose mousse which she loved. We loved the high table booth, which was very generous in space, and had decent lighting. We will definitely be back again!
