Our selection for the evening was the chargrilled oysters, seafood bisque, prime rib and loaded 1# baked potato. Everything was excellent. Our waiter Trae, was very attentive to our needs. The experience for the evening was very enjoyable. We will definitely be making more reservations in the future.

Food is incredible. We did the Reveilon meal and the chooses where great! Anything that was a “or” on the menu we each order the “or” so we could try everything on the menu. It was so Amazing! The service was “Impeccable”. Have never had such fantastic service. Each staff member “Loved” their job and it showed, wasn’t just a front like some places. They all truly believed that that all the staff was “Family” and they took care of each other. Zachery was our main wait person, he was so happy ti be there and assist with all of questions no matter what they were. Extremely knowledgeable of the menu and was just amazing. By the time we left we had come to know his life story. Such an Amazing person. Thank You Zachary for the lovely evening.
