Marissa and Nate were both excellent servers. We enjoyed having our visitors look out the window to see the horse drawn carriages go by and the lights. We had a variety of food. Shrimp cocktail, angus burger, tofu rice, soup excellent, crab cakes good, the dish was lukewarm. Drinks excellent. Thank you.

Zest was excellent! I had the salmon entree and it was delicious. Our server was courteous and had a wonderful attitude. She was there when we needed her and given the privacy when we did not. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
