Dinner was fantastic. From the crab dip appetizer to the entrees to the special puff pastry Valentines dessert. I had the stuffed salmon and my husband had the filet. Both were delicious and h could cut the filet with his fork. Our waiter, Alan, was great too. Attentive but not overbearing.

Beautiful restaurant. Witnessed a strangers intimate proposal, which was fun, and apparently their second night in a row with a proposal. The Wagyu Beef entrée was sensational. Our server, Gavin, was excellent. Looking forward to going back.

We really enjoyed our first visit to this wonderful place and it won’t be our last! Mike, our server, was friendly and quite informed of the menu and checked on us often. We especially loved the ambiance with the fire log TV and good music.
