                      Our first time, hostess was gracious, waiter (Leo) attentive, meal was fantastic, Caesar salad fresh and crunchy the way it should be, side of Spinach was perfect, not too creamy, and the main courses: Tuna perfectly seared, Parmesan potatoes yummy, Trout Amandine the best we've ever had, I ate some for lunch the next day and it was still outstanding. Desserts are horribly delicious. The wine is a little pricey, I would've liked more bottle selections between $55-70. We will certainly go back.

                      Hi George! Thank you so much for the 5-star review! If you would like, the next time you're in I recommend starting the evening with a drink at the bar & lounge before you sit at your table. Our happy hour is 4:30-6pm daily, and features half off cocktails, along with 50 select bottles of wine that are 50% off. There you can find our amazing bottles of wine that fit that $55-70 price range, and after a glass or two at the bar you're welcome to finish at the table during dinner when you are ready. I hope you enjoy the carrot cake, and I hope you look forward to trying the chocolate cake next time! Sincerely, Cameron Stefanini Beverage Manager
