    Delightful Sunday evening. Food was very good and wait staff was so attentive but not overbearing. Been many, many years since our last visit there (due to distance) but so glad we made it back for a dinner with friends. Couldn’t ask for better!

    The Highlawn is a lovely restaurant with beautiful views and excellent service. We celebrated my Mother's 85th birthday. The sparkler candle that came with her desert was impressive and well received. Unfortunately, the branzino came in a foil packet on a plate and wasn't fully cooked. One of the staff used scissors to cut open the packet. I would have preferred that the fish dish be presented on a plate instead of in foil at this high-end restaurant. I would like to see some plant based dishes. I had a side of roasted mushroom and sauteed spinach for my meal.

    I love this restaurant. Just had another wonderful meal here. Very reasonable prices for high quality delicious food—every time. I’ve never had a bad meal here. The scallops I had last night were the best I’ve ever eaten. Service and meal presentation are spot on. I’m already looking forward to my next visit to this fav restaurant.
