Valentine’s dinner was lovely. We had crab dip, steak, a crab cake and molten chocolate cake for dessert. They also served focaccia bread which was delicious. Morgan, our server, was friendly and attentive. Another great experience at Twin Arch Tavern!

Indian Ocean is now our 'go to' favorite restaurant for delicious Indian food. The service is outstanding, and the cost very reasonable, especially with the option for BYOB. The food is not only fantastic but also plentiful! Our leftovers fed us for at least 2 more meals at home!
