Sinner for 9 people. For a nice, expensive dinner, it has to be good, and this was Outstanding. We tried many different appetizers and entrees. It was a long meal that we enjoyed, and we were never rushed or ignored. Service from Jason was top notch. Only improvement I would suggest is the noise level. It was rather loud, although maybe that was our location in the restaurant near a party room.

Family ate like we hadn’t seen good before. The crab cake was delectable and my filet mignon was cooked perfectly. There was Cioppino, sushi, strip steak and key lime pie. Lots of drinks. Kelly was our wonderful guide to the menu, very professional. Highly recommended.
