    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.

    Absolutely a fabulous place!! We dined here to celebrate our Anniversary on 2/20, and so glad we did!! Everything was perfection. From ambiance, appetizers, entrees, dessert, and drinks…all amazing! Our server Jack was top notch. He was so welcoming, informing, friendly, and so attentive. He made our evening so superb. This establishment is absolutely gorgeous. Decorated so clean, classy, and beautiful. Colors are so inviting. Great menu, and prices are on point, and fair for an upscale restaurant. We loved every minute of our evening. Cannot wait to try the Brunch too. Definitely one of our new favorite places. Get there. You will not be disappointed!!!
