    I came here with my boyfriend for a date night. We got seated by the window in a nice, secluded area. Our waitress, Ashley, was very nice, attentive, friendly, and descriptive about the dishes. We ordered the salmon egg rolls and the bisque as appetizers which were seasoned to perfection. Highly recommend the bisque! It had lobster and crab in every bite. For our entrees, I got the jerk pasta with chicken and my boyfriend got the lamb lollipops (medium rare). My dish was amazing and so flavorful. The lamb was good but it was cooked well done but my boyfriend didn’t want to say anything about it. For dessert, we ordered the fried banana pudding and that was hands down delicious! We couldn’t stop eating it no matter how full we were. I would definitely go back to try some of the other dishes. We ended up paying about $180, which I think is on the high end but for the ambience and scale of the restaurant, it is worth it.

    No place better to go before and after a show. We went before, and my husband's Alfredo was so good we went back for dessert after and I got an Alfredo to bring home
