We enjoyed a lovely anniversary dinner with our son. Between us we had two Cajun ribeyes, cooked perfectly, delicious toppings & butters. Also the fillet mignon with the baked potato were excellent. Appetizers, the angry shrimp and the deviled eggs with caviar were so good! Our server was fabulous he got the drinks just right, remembered everything we said and he was very attentive. He also served us a special dessert (of our choice) as complimentary. We chose crème brûlée and it was perfect. The only reason I took a star off is, I dont like sitting in a booth for an elegant dinner. I like the tables better. They said we couldn’t sit there as they were booked but I noticed they are set for six. We were only three. I’d like to see some tables set for two and four.

Great location, excellent and attentive service. The food was well presented, prepared and tasty (seafood stew, Chilean seabass). Our wine and cocktails didn’t disappoint. And I like the ample free parking in the rear. Highly recommend.
