    From appetizers to dessert, everything was delicious. This was our first time dining there and we will return! For appetizers we ordered the fresh clams, crab cake, and salmon poke. They were excellent. We ordered the Sunday Sauce, 12oz. Silicon and shrimp scampi for entrees. Everything was fresh and mouthwatering. We shared a huge piece of carrot cake for dessert. Phenomenal! We can’t wait to dine there again.

    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.
