    We have gone every year on Anniversary for the last 4 years. They have always made the experience personal and very enjoyable. The atmosphere and ambience of the restaurant is exceptional. We both ordered the filet mignon, whipped potatoes and Brussels sprouts with Banana Foster for dessert! The steak was very tender and full of flavor. The meal was delicious and we will be back! Highly recommend!
