    Nick, our server was very attentive, suggestive and answered our questions. Food was delicious and removed promptly when finished. Even though it was packed because of Thanksgiving nothing was rushed and it was a delightful experience!

    Their ads on scallops looks good and juicy, however when was served on our table it seems the opposite of the adds, scallops are little bit small and dry. Steaks are well prepared and taste so great. Service is outstanding, thank you for the great evening. Ms. Hanna, our host, took care of us. Oh by the way the music is great too. Hope I can seat near the band on my next visit.

    Delicious dinner with a beautiful view. The filet mignon is always delicious and they had a lobster tail and filet special on my wife's birthday. And the mud pie for dessert finished our dinner perfectly 👌.
