Valentines Day Special Event was everything. I had the whiskey sour. We chose between a few course choices. Part of a 4 course meal. The calamari was the best. The steak was made to my liking. We went to celebrate Valentine’s Day and now the day after I am still thinking about the calamari. The business has been in service for 35 years and I hope they continue to deliver on special events such as this. The server I had did not have a name badge but his recommendations were good and he delivered excellent service.
