    Outstanding experience. Drinks are crafted with care, hand-stuffed bleu cheese olives in martinis was a huge plus. We had the set Valentine's Day dinner. Oysters Rockefeller were outstanding, seasoned very nicely. Lobster bisque and seared sea scallops were tremendous. Strip steak was cooked perfectly with garlic butter. We ordered the lobster mac and cheese as a side--delicious. Olive oil cake with whipped cream for desert was fabulous. Maria, our server, was outstanding. Very professional, polite, and accommodating. She could not have been better, really made the whole experience special.
