    Food, service and atmosphere was wonderful. My wife and I were in celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed! We both ordered off of the “specials” menu but started with a lobster filled mushroom appetizer. Highly recommend!

    The food was delicious and the service was great. However, it’s a very small venue with tables placed very closely to each other. The noise level was pretty intense, but that’s probably normal for peak hours.
