Our server, Sue, was a joy to be with! She made our special night even more enjoyable! The food was perfection! The sunset was beautiful and even the crows gave us a show! This was our first time there and we will definitely come again!

We had the most amazing dinner last night. Our server was knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. My duck was cooked perfectly as was my wife’s glazed catfish. The cocktails were cold and balanced. Our daughter appreciated the kids menu. Desserts were off the charts, especially the chocolate pots de crème with marshmallow fluff. It’s the best meal we’ve had in over a year.
