    We went on Valentines Day! It was crowded. Glad we made a reservation. Although they were busy the service was great! Kudos to our waitress. I’m not sure if I’m pronouncing her name right “Befa”. She was amazing and professional! The food was overall delicious. Mom husband had the duck and I had the veal. Lobster bisque was delicious. Big portions. We shared the calamari for 2 it could be for 4 people. Large portions. I thought the calamari could have been more spiced up with more garlic though. Overall it was a great dinner.

    Overall a wonderful experience from the minute we arrived until we left. We were initially ushered to a table for 2 and my husband asked if we could have a 4-top. Within a minute we moved to a spacious table. Immediate exceptional customer service! From then it only got better. Jason, our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly without being intrusive. Each course was delicious and this was a first: no leftovers. We literally cleaned our plates. Can’t wait to return.

    When my babysitter cancelled last minute, my husband and I were worried about bringing our almost two year old to a 6 course tasting meal but we were very pleasantly surprised! The staff was so kind and helpful and we had such a wonderful time! So did our son - he had lots to look at and everyone was so friendly:). Our waitress was so sweet and the service was perfect. We did the 6 course tasting menu and it was amazing, every course was delicious. One of the best and fun meals we’ve had in a long time! Thank you, State Room!
