    Decent meal, good service, and nice setting. I was surprised by the size of the establishment. It seems like they did a good job servicing all the tables.

    We loved out food: Lobster Potstickers/eggs Benedict/chocolate molten cake/the salmon bagel and especially the bloody Mary's. It is always a pleasure to eat there. The surrounding is excellent and the service is always great.

    Fantastic from start to finish. I would say the food was the best thing, until I considered the impeccable service by all who attended our table and then I remember the magical ambience and it just doesn’t get any better. Too many great dishes to list them but if you love Carrot Cake, theirs is the best! Can’t wait to visit again.

    There was no organization from the hostess to the wait staff. The kung pa calamari was excellent. The main dish arrived half cold and the steak was undercooked and the lobster was overcooked. Doubtful I would return for expense of the meal and quality.

    Hosts and servers were professional and friendly. The atmosphere is lovely and varied - outdoors, indoors, with good options. We chose to sit a bit away from the livelier part of the restaurant and had a table overlooking the tennis courts. The $60 prix fixe Menu offers excellent choices and a good value. The drinks were generous and perfectly crafted. Great birthday evening!
