We returned for the Monday night special. We had crab+ cakes and a steak. We both liked our entrees. Must say as constructive criticism the crab cakes could have been warmer and more browned. Floor service remains challenged but tonight the kitchen part was quick and well timed for us. Adjacent tables were having issues, but our server only forgot one request.

We were a party of six (6) that enjoyed our Dining experience. We order from the Lunch Menu, although the Dinner Menu was available. The presentation was good and the food was excellent. The experience was so good that my wife and her group are already planning a Lunch Date. We really enjoyed the whole experience.
