    We had a delightful evening! Our server, Eden, was simply lovely and made us feel welcome. Our meal was delectable. I had the duck and my husband had the steak Diane, which are our favorite items on the menu. We are never disappointed! We look forward to returning soon. It’s a popular place, for good reason, so I need to book a reservation in advance. See you soon!
