    The wait staff was super friendly and very attentive. The food was scrumptious. The panoramic view to the outside was just breathtaking. A repeat dining experience in the future for sure.

    This place is a hidden gem for the location and atmosphere alone. We go practically every other weekend. Summer menu is better than the fall menu. The clam chowder is always good. The summer beet salad is phenomenal. Blueberry crème brûlée is outstanding. Skip the pumpkin crème brulee as it’s overly spiced and more like pudding than a true custard.
    Safari Room RestaurantResponded 3 days ago
    Thanks for sharing your thoughtful review! It’s great to know you enjoy our summer menu and some of our classics like the clam chowder and blueberry crème brûlée. We’ll definitely take your note on the pumpkin crème brûlée into account. Can’t wait to welcome you back soon.

    Wonderful experience. Mimi and Rebecca were great. My wife enjoyed her lemoncello lemon drop martini. We have been there more than twenty times. Beautiful, consistent and fun.

    Beautiful place. Like most wedding venues the dinning crowd is not as important. Clam chowder was great, chicken wings were meaty and tender (just don't care for that particular seasoning). The burger was OK had better at Applebee's of all places. Wine sangrias were very good.
