                We went for lunch. The pickerel was delicious. You must order the cheesecake for dessert. Absolutely decadent. Service was great. We were seated by the waterfall which was so nice.

                Went for lunch today with my girlfriends for birthday celebration. Had an amazing table facing the waterfall. Food was delicious, we really like celery root soup , salad with chickpeas and steak . For dessert I would highly recommend Peanut butter cream Brule , cheesecake was also delicious . We were lucky to get Vanessa as a waitress , thank you very much for your exceptional service .

                My wife and myself had a wonderful dining experience. The food was magnificent service was excellent. The staff really go out of their way to make it a wonderful experience. Our waitress and support staff explained every dish in detail as they arrived at our table. Pricing is what you would think it would be for food and service on this level. Highly recommend for anyone that wants to spoil themselves or celebrate a special occasion.
