    Amazing from the most moment we walked in we were welcomed like we were regulars. The interior and ambience is really quite beautiful. I had read a lot of reviews as I always do so I take my reviewing very seriously. I almost didn't go based on some negative reviews, but there were so many good ones I decided to try it. We were not disappointed. We happen to luck out and get Darnell as our waiter. I have read a lot about him, and he was every bit as wonderful as other reviewer said everyone there went above and beyond to make sure the water was filled to make sure our food was good at Dornell's suggestion I ordered the whole fried flounder or something I've never had. It was absolutely delicious and he even instructed me on the correct way to eat it around the bones my partner got the halibut and it was also delicious. We got the shrimp de jonghe as the appetizer which was to die for, and because we told them it was our anniversary in the reservation they brought us two glasses of champagne and a beautiful plate, written in chocolate, good wishes with some cream and berries. I would absolutely recommend this and go here again.
