    We had a fantastic time celebrating family. The drinks were terrific (lemon drop martini was my favorite). We ordered the calamari as an appetizer and everyone was raving about that choice. The entrees were perfect and delicious. The Chilean sea bass was a hit as was the lamb chops and filets. It was an incredible evening topped off our server - Yvonne- who made us feel at home. What a great night!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We ordered Filet Oscar - FABULOUS Petite twin filet- lovely Prime rib- incredible Truffle Mac, Brussels sprouts with bacon, oysters, wagyu carpaccio, glazed carrot salad, chocolate cake (OMG!!!!!) cheesecake, coconut cake! Our daughter ordered chocolate ice cream with cherries and they really went above and beyond. She is five and they made the service inclusive. I was stunned at how amazing the plate clearing was- it was quiet, and barely noticed! Great job team all around! Prices are fair. Service was lovely. And food quality was stellar.
