    Perfect fot a date, family outing or bite with friends. Love the music and ambiance. You enter into a lobby where you can wine taste, or buy some souvenirs. I like the bar option or regular dining seating. The food was good. We both elected to get the surf n turf options. Reasonably priced.

    We were lucky enough to get a table during the Grand Illumination and the food absolutely matched the beauty of the parade. Every bite of our meal from the pumpkin soup (that has the most amazing homemade croutons!) to the tuna tartare that was just melt-in-the-mouth delicious and the delicious scallops…every single bite was just amazing. I’m absolutely going to come back because I saw someone else get the GL burger and I NEED to try it! Looked amazing! Our server Christa was absolutely amazing. Extremely attentive but without being overbearing. Our drinks were always tended to and she was very knowledgeable about the dishes we were eating. The whole experience was just delightful from beginning to end.

    I came here with my boyfriend for a date night. We got seated by the window in a nice, secluded area. Our waitress, Ashley, was very nice, attentive, friendly, and descriptive about the dishes. We ordered the salmon egg rolls and the bisque as appetizers which were seasoned to perfection. Highly recommend the bisque! It had lobster and crab in every bite. For our entrees, I got the jerk pasta with chicken and my boyfriend got the lamb lollipops (medium rare). My dish was amazing and so flavorful. The lamb was good but it was cooked well done but my boyfriend didn’t want to say anything about it. For dessert, we ordered the fried banana pudding and that was hands down delicious! We couldn’t stop eating it no matter how full we were. I would definitely go back to try some of the other dishes. We ended up paying about $180, which I think is on the high end but for the ambience and scale of the restaurant, it is worth it.

    Our server EMMA is the best! She’s very attentive to our needs and always serving with a smile. Ambiance is great! Food items offered in the menu today are all delectable, except the fish which is a bit salty and the chicken is quite dry, nevertheless the pulled beef, soups, desserts are all pleasing to my palate.
