    A quiet Wednesday evening dinner for three. The street corn shrimp and crab cake apps were good. Two sushi dishes and a swordfish plate were great. Our server was very attentive. Finz is consistently consistent.; the food and service is top notch.

    We enjoyed our New Years Day meal at the Landing. The atmosphere was lively, but not too crowded, it was warm and cozy. The service was excellent. The Fish Sandwich was delish, others at the table ordered the French toast which was excellent, no leftovers. The strip steak was great, cooked just right.

    Went for the New Year’s Day Hip Hop DJ Brunch and it did not disappoint! Tried the housemade donuts (cranberry orange & espresso martini), and they lived up to the hype 100%! Seriously, if we weren’t so full, I would have taken a couple of the orange-cranberry ones to go! Then we had chicken & waffles and the pastrami hash. The chicken was incredibly crispy and the hash was delicious- lots of peppers & onions to complement the pastrami. Music was loud (we were right in front of the DJ) with some great selections! Service was excellent as well. We will definitely be back!
