    An absolutely beautiful evening with a lovely server! Raw oysters were delicious. The shrimp cocktail was delicious and the 4 shrimp were HUGE! We were served the wrong drink but they made it right when we asked about it. The shrimp and lobster scampi were amazing on a bed of fresh fettuccine. Extensive drink menu. We both decided to drink our dessert — Irish coffee and a pistachio martini that is one of the best drinks I’ve had in a long time!! The igloo was very comfortable, temperature was easily regulated and they had extra blankets for a wrap or lap, if you felt like it was needed. Not cheap but I think it was worth it for the quality, quantity and overall atmosphere. (I’ve dined here in the summer when it is very busy and this is a totally different vibe. Both are excellent.)
