    We normally don’t do the specials, but they had a Valentines special for two which consisted of a starter of goat cheese balls with a cracker like bread. Main course was surf and turf. Steak & grilled lobster were excellent. Steak was tender and flavorful as was the lobster. The accompanying risotto was delicious, with dessert being a trio of strawberry mousse with a chocolate cake base, a double chocolate cake with whipped cream, and chocolate covered strawberries. All were delicious! Service was excellent and made for a great experience.

    For the price you pay, the service of EVERY hostess and WAIT STAFF needs evaluating. Some are extremely kind, quick to respond and attentive, others unattentive, Luke warm, and slow. Would love to experience consistency of service because I love dining in place..
