    Dinner for 4. Our wait staff were wonderful, especially our primary server, Tyler. If lobster thermidor is on the menu, we recommend it. The grilled romaine salad is delicious. The smoked bourbon cocktail is fun and tasty. The key lime pie was very good, as was the butterscotch budino. Overall a great dining experience and is highly recommended.

    We had a wonderful anniversary celebration dinner thanks to our server Patrick and his trainee (whose name we sadly didn’t catch but definitely was provided). The added touch of the card and complimentary 24k gold cake from the restaurant made it even more memorable. Patrick and his colleague were incredibly attentive, ensuring everything was perfect for our special night. Thank you all for a great evening. We’ll definitely be back!
