    Even though it was one of the busiest nights for a restaurant (2/14), the service was excellent with our attentive waiter. The food was delicious as usual (with a new twist on the burrata appetizer) and portions were generous. There were extra touches with the balloons and chocolate.

    We were unaware of the pre-fix menu on Valentine’s Day. Compared to the their typical prices the pre-fix prices were inflated by $40 per person. Pre-fix was fine and we understand for the holiday, but $125/pp for a $20 app, $50 entree,shared dessert crème brûlée and cookie was excessive.

    We had a wonderful meal at The Park. The wedge salad was large and delicious. As were the scallops and sirloin. Coffee topped off the night with a warm chocolate cake and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Looking forward to going back again for our next celebration dinner!
