Table service was outstanding. We got the filet mignon, truffle Mac n cheese, 1/2 order of oysters, bread, and the Maine scallops w/ shrimp on risotto. It was all delicious and cooked perfectly. Only thing I would have changed is adding a little more seasoning to the risotto but honestly it was cooked pretty well.

Manager Lisa was the best, most service-oriented manager I have ever seen. She kicked in when service was a bit slow, checked in on us every so often, comped us a drink when we waited a bit too long for our order, and just made a slow evening into a spectacular one. A great manager. Well done Lisa!
