Family ate like we hadn’t seen good before. The crab cake was delectable and my filet mignon was cooked perfectly. There was Cioppino, sushi, strip steak and key lime pie. Lots of drinks. Kelly was our wonderful guide to the menu, very professional. Highly recommended.

Their lunch special was very good. I chose the steak and lobster, and the food was cooked to perfection. It was a great value for your money. They also had live entertainment while we were eating. Both the gentleman and lady were excellent entertainers. I would definitely schedule this luncheon for next year.

Incredible food. I mean absolutely delicious. Caesar salad was one of the best I’ve ever had, Vodka sauce on the pasta was delicious. We also had the baby artichokes (yum!) and the Burrata salad. I’ll gladly eat them all again. 100/10. All pasta made in hose too! My server was so knowledgeable on the wines and let me taste a few until I found the perfect one for my meal-made me feel so welcome. This place is definitely going on the short list of favorite restaurants in downtown.
