We haven’t been to the restaurant in a while, and my husband and I were very pleasantly surprised with the wonderful menu and the quality of food. We can’t wait to go back to try some of the other dishes. We also really enjoyed the selection of non-alcoholic drinks. My only criticism was that they need to step it up a little bit with the dessert offerings. Our meals were delicious.

Though atmosphere and service were excellent, the food was OK. Drinks were great, but the apps and the desserts were subpar and expensive. Cant say enough about how attentive Jay was and he was even training someone that is bound to be excellent as well.
