We were Celebrating our Son Birthday and New Year’s Day combined event. Larry was very gracious with explaining the Menu and the Appetizer Favorites. The Lobster Risotto was moist and delicious. The Backyard Burger and the Roasted Chicken were Perfect, paired with a Coke Zero and a Glass of White Wine. To top it off, Larry was very kind to keep the event low-key and place a Bday candle and a Birthday Chocolate sign on the Sticky Pudding which was out of this world, and my Son finished without sharing!!!😊 I loved the Cappuccino because it was so light and fluffy, and perfect size. Will definitely visit again for upcoming special events. Great location and Fantastic decor.
