    Food is always outstanding, including service. This is the second time we were seated upstairs. For me, timing was off both times. We waited a long time to get both appetizers. Our waiter came by and questioned why we hadn't had our appetizers yet. They were soon delivered. Then our entrees were there as we were finishing the appetizers. Food wasn't as hot as it usually is, but flavors are outstanding. Going forward, I will insist on sitting on the 1st floor main dining. Things flow better, and we don't feel rushed. It's a place we frequent, and we love the ambiance.

    We went here for V-Day and it was really busy, we had to wait for about 20 minutes to be seated even though we were running 10 minutes late... with that being said our overall experience was great! The Filet Mignon was cooked perfectly! My wife liked the Oysters and the Snapper. This place is great for an event or special occasion but is definitely a femine atmosphere.

    We love this restaurant! The food was fabulous- I had rainbow trout and my husband had potato-crusted salmon. The service was excellent, and it’s a very cozy, beautiful restaurant. Great wine selection too.
