Great service. Food was delicious. Only suggestion is related to dessert. I ordered a banana tort as our server referred to it but it was just banana bread. Other than that everything was delightful and service was great.

Food was delicious, the scallop & shrimp skewers & butternut squash soup yum ! Entree the turkey dinner was on point & pork chop also a surprise hit. Only minor suggestion is for the ricotta cheesecake Apple pie dessert- to whip the ricotta a bit more & less crumb to the apple pie topping
