We celebrated our 56th wedding anniversary. From the moment we entered we were treated like royalty. The service was totally exceptional! We never had to look for any of the waitstaff who appeared at all the proper moments. The food was absolutely delicious and amazing. We received an anniversary card with rose petals on the table, plus a delicious desert that topped off very special evening. Thank you for the memories.

Everything as usual was perfect except that the wait person helping our waiter was much too eager to clear the table while one of the women in our party was still eating. He should know that you do not remove plates or silverware until all in the group are finished eating. He attempted to take her plate 2 times before she was finished.
