    Each time that I’ve visited has been an exceptional experience. Today was no different! From the Host and the grand entrance to each of my servers, everything was perfect! I was immediately greeted with a smile and upon prompt seating our service took our drink order. The food was absolutely delicious. I especially enjoyed the salmon, crab cakes, and greens. No room for dessert! Simply the best!

    I have to say I’m impressed with my 1st time visiting, the whole staff was amazing & worked as a team but our waitress Stacie was the best I could ask for, very polite & held great conversation I felt like she’s my friend now. She promoted the specials & recommended entrees & appetizers based on her personal preference. Stacie continued to check in on us periodically & made sure we had EVERYTHING we needed. Food &drinks were 10 out of 10, I will be returning, GREAT JOB!!!

    We arrived a little early for our reservation and were greeted promptly. Had to wait a short time before we were seated, which gave us time to walk around the lobby area. Devon was the perfect waiter; personable, friendly and was very attentive to our needs and questions. I would request him if he is working. The food was excellent. The chef in the restaurant knows how to cook food perfectly. My wife's scallop special was great. The scallops were seared to perfection; not mushy or dry. I had the surf and turf with pecan crusted pork chop and pistachio crusted grouper. These are on the regular menu, and I would highly recommend this dish. Again, both were cooked to perfection. A must is the salted caramel creme brulee. All in all, a great pre-Valentine's dinner. Thank you.
