We had a table by the window so the view was perfect. We were seated as soon as we arrived. They have numerous dinner choices. The waitstaff is wonderful and very helpful. My husband had the salmon, I had a perfect filet mignon and my brother-in-law had the Thanksgiving special. We also took home a dinner for my father-in-law as he was not feeling well and the waiter made sure that the order was put in in a timely manner so it wouldn't be ready too soon or too late.
