Everything was lovely! The food was outstanding, as always. The noise level made it tough to converse with my dad who is older, but it didn't put a damper on the experience. We'll definitely be back!

As usual, Silver did not disappoint. Their rendition of pan seared scallops is the best I've eaten on a continuing basis. Mark S did a wonderful jod as my server. Top notch.

I was disappointed that you couldn’t order off the menu. It could be because it’s the holidays but that should be made clear when making reservations. Not at the restaurant So if you don’t like buffet style food but want the music and the experience ok. The music was great but a little too loud. You couldn’t hear yourself talk to the people at your table. The waiters were very attentive to your needs.
