    The dinner was delicious, I was looking forward to lamb but I guess they changed up their menu or it changes on a regular basis. I had fettuccine alfredo and my date had scallops. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The staff was very attentive and welcoming, the wine selection was very good, we both had a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon that I had never had before, it was not the normal profile of a Cab Sav that I would enjoy (dry) it was sweet, but not too sweet and paired perfectly with the alfredo, it did not over power it. I will definitely be visiting again for special occasions or when I need to treat myself.

    Attended on 12/17/2024. Attention to detail and Incredible service made this a great night. On Open Table, I listed what package I wanted and asked for a table near a window in the notes field and when I checked in they stated my requests and was working on them. Service was spectacular, The wait staff took their time ensuring our party had an understand of each item on the menu. The only bummer is when the Manager or someone like that stopped a busser right in our view and began to go over some issue with him. In my mind you do that in the kitchen and not in view of customers. Overall, the date night menu is a great value, oh, Avoid the Au Gratin potatoes. They made it into a loaf and it was cool. Au Gratin should have a sauce and a crispy top layer. Someone took a twist on it and no one wanted to tell them it was not a good idea. You now know.
