                                                          Our party of four decided to order 3 of the sides as appetizers to share before our entrees arrived. The Brussel Sprouts, Patatas, and Roasted Carrots were all fresh, wonderfully seasoned, and delicious. Our entrees were also perfectly prepared - the salmon topped with crab, Amish chicken, and pepperoni flatbread were amazing. We shared the flourless chocolate cake and creme brulee for dessert and these were also fantastic. Our server was great - attentive and friendly.

                                                          We enjoyed a dinner for my husband's birthday and while all of the food and drinks were delicious, the service left something to be desired. At a restaurant of this caliber I expect to be asked if I would like another drink when my cocktail is gone and that when a soda refill is brought out that it is the correct type. I appreciated our server not rushing us, but it was actually too long of a wait after submitting our oyster order and placing our entre order. I'm not sure if the lack of attention was due to our booth being around a corner, the fact that the restaurant filled in with diners or that we had an inexperienced server (very polite and answered questions about menu when asked directly).
