Wedding Anniversary Celebration! We arrived and waited in the lounge for a window table and are so glad we did. Wonderful view! We can recommend the Lobster Bisque and the Lamp Chops. Our server, Daniel, was marvelous and was supported by Laurel, who was a gem. Bethany in the lounge was very good and really took care of us.

We were seated downstairs, first time! It was quieter and I think had better views of the city lights! As always our food was delicious, served promptly by an attentive young server who was friendly and had an energetic vibe.
