    Absolutely amazing experience! I have one suggestion. It was our anniversary and they brought out a small cake like desert. Which was nice but I would recommend not serving this. Little Debbie snack cakes are better. The food was amazing, appetizers, sides and main course. To serve this to us at the end is embarrassing for this five star establishment. We ended ordering the crème brûlée and it was amazing like everything else.

    I’m so glad I chose this restaurant for my mom‘s 80th birthday! The food was amazing! The service was amazing! The online pictures of the restaurant itself on the inside, did not do it justice. Loved the ambience. Dress was from very casual to semi formal, as we went at Christmas time and there were a lot of corporate Christmas parties. It was a beautiful setting with a lovely Christmas tree that everyone wanted to take pictures in front of. I highly recommend!

    Great food. It was hot. It was well timed. It was delicious. Short ribs and shrimp with pasta. Great selections. Food and wine. Attentive employees. Sincerely friendly. Is there anything you can do about the acoustics? Very difficult to converse without really yelling. If I owned the facility, I would seek professional help with sound dampening.
