    Didn’t get seated until 15 minutes after our scheduled time and only after I reminded hostess that we were there. Our server was prompt, accommodating and friendly! Food was good but definitely could have been warmer. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

    We really enjoyed it! It was my first time there. Their kids meals were better than most! They each came with a general side (fries, veggie options) but then they both came with Yogurt, cutie orange and fruit snacks. The kids loved it! We go to so many places that just do generic tenders and fries so anything beyond that is always great. We both loved the house margs and our meals were delish. My husband’s only complaint was the Shrimp pasta only had 6 shrimp but they were fairly good size. We will be back!

    Food is thoughtfully prepared and presented using high quality ingredients. Everyone in our group of four enjoyed their entrees, commenting that the venison and scallop dishes were remarkable. Dessert of vanilla custard tart and housemade cranberry ice cream was a lovely close to the meal. Cocktails were good but not great, if there was any low point to the meal. Overall, a great experience, but I question the value for the price. Can an equal or better experience be had for less? Yes.
