    I had put on our reservation that it was a birthday and a anniversary and celebrated. There was no mention of either. Our waiter seemed bothered by us being there. The food was OK. We ordered the captains cut. It was nice, but I feel like I’ve had something similar at a casino buffet bar. I had to shake my empty glass violently to finally get a refill. For what you pay at this place I would expect better service. Sorry maybe it was a bad night for them.

    Everything was great including service, food, bar drinks and the view. Kayla was attentive and professional. The food was quick and spot on. Huge shrimp in my cocktail, the crispy potatoes with parmesan are a must, ribeye steak cooked perfectly, and the carrot cake is winner. This has been my third trip, bit pricey but planning on returning in the future.
