    We were there to celebrate a birthday and the food was amazing and our server was great. The one issues i had and i have been going to this restaurant for over 10 years and this is the first time that i have ever had an issue. Other servers and busboys kept coming over to the table and wanted to take our plates. It was very annoying and we felt rushed. The once good thing is that i went and spoke to the manager and he was shocked and said he would talk with the staff and he did the right thing, I will not let this stop me from going back.

    Fine dining establishment that knows how to do it right. When you think of fine dining on the north shore you think of a steak house. You forget about places like this. Excellent food, great atmosphere, great service.
