Our dinning experience was outstanding. From our hostess who sat us at our table to our server everyone was warm, kind, and very welcoming!! We were celebrating my dad’s 87th birthday and he absolutely loved it!! We had the burrata, crab cakes, and calamari for appetizers. Main courses were the pork chops, duck pasta and steak frites. Everything was prepared well and was very good. For dessert was the lemon cake, strawberry rhubarb, and chocolate cake with ice cream. They put a candle on it for my dad which was very sweet. Big thanks to all the staff who made us feel very special. Can’t wait to come back for brunch!!
