    Wonderful holiday experience with family coming in from varied states. Food and service were exemplary. I would give a second round of appreciation and applause to every one of the many staff who greeted us, valeted cars, made us feel welcome on entry and again through our time there, and served our wonderful cocktails and meals. We will be back!

    We experienced a very private, enjoyable lunch w good service. The restaurant and food choices were nice, more of a dinner menu than lunch menu. However, there is no water to be viewed from the Waters Edge and I think that needs to be clarified as it is a bit misleading.

    We were seating in a room off to the right side, not the main dining room which I found to be a bit sterile. Food was delicious once they got my husbands filet mignon cooked right... he asked for rare and was given a piece that was well done. They were more than happy to fix it, and it came out fairly quick so it wasn't really a big deal.

    The food was great. We were all very happy. It was quiet, we could hear ourselves. The restaurant was busy, but not noisy and we all enjoyed our meal. We will definitely be back.😘👍

    We went to celebrate a double family birthday and had an outstanding experience. The food was top notch, generous portions, service was excellent and Chris even entertained us with his comedy show. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our experience. On top of that, they made a very generous donation to the Make A Wish Foundation. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
