    This is our favorite restaurant but we were disappointed on our last dinner. The Strip Frite was not good & doesn’t have an appetizing appearance. The crab cake scampi was just ok this time. Maybe the chef was having a bad night.

    Dining request was accommodated perfectly. Such an amazing date night stop. Food was great and the service was top tier. Ambience and concept were on point. The Wine selection is gigantic. The food menu offered a wide variety of high quality options for all tastes and potential restrictions.
