    Not only was it Christmas Eve, but our anniversary as well! I got a severe nut allergy, amongst other allergies. Our server Jasmine, was vigilant to communicate with us and the kitchen to avoid any issues. The food was amazing, service even better! We even got a tiny bottle of prosecco, on the house, for our anniversary. Can't wait to return.

    The food was delicious. I had the Chilean Sea Bass. It was flavorful and practically melted in my mouth. The kitchen kindly accommodated me by preparing this without the usual bacon since I cannot eat pork. The she crab soup is outstanding. And, the desserts were worthy of the calories they contained. Our server, Phil, was attentive but not intrusive. He made the experience relaxing and enjoyable.

    My wife and I had a great experience from the moment we walked in the door. We were greeted and seated immediately after walking in the door. Our waitress did a fantastic job explaining any questions that we had. Our food come out fresh and in the perfect time. We had plenty of time to enjoy our appetizer and our meal it self. We never felt rushed and enjoyed the evening.
