The food was amazing, the flavors were on point. Our primary waiter was excellent as well. However, we did have to ask for a steak knife for our son’s steak, which we thought was odd. Also, it seemed like there was a lot of staff loitering in the main dining area doing nothing but chatting to each other.

What a fantastic late lunch we had today. The servers were wonderful, and the food was fantastic as always. Our primary server suggested the omelet and the scallop salad. We decided to get both and split them! He even put a 4th scallop on the salad split so to avoid problems! We even split a piece of the olive oil cake which was light and tasty! Thanks for a great afternoon!
