Everything about the dining experience was excellent and memorable, from the moment we were greeted at the door, coats taken, escorted to our prepared table, warmly welcomed by our server, presented with drinks followed by a scrumptious meal. Between the three of us we shared one another’s meal and moaned in delight over each bite. Will definitely return to this restaurant.
