Every item ordered was great. Beef rib and the Mac and cheese were incredible. Even the mocktails were carefully crafted and complex. Our entire party was thoroughly impressed.

My companion had the tuna melt with fries and I had the crab cake salad. Both were generous portions and very tasty! We had carrot cake for dessert and it was lovely.

From drinks to dessert our food and drinks were outstanding. Service was exception and we really appreciated that our server allowed us to sample the wine before we ordered a glass. She also surprised us with a birthday candle with the dessert we ordered and a gift code for the picture booth! Again, she made it an exceptional experience for all four of us! We will definetly be back.
