Unforgettable experience. The restaurant is beautiful and comfortable. The cocktails were tasty and well made. We ordered the appetizer named Sea o’ plenty and it was remarkable, full of flavor, with a lot of great seafood choices and everything fresh. The service was outstanding, our waiter Paul always knew how to make its entrance and his recommendations were spot on, like his suggestion to try the special which included half rack ribs, 2 medallions, green beans and mashed potatoes. Everything was delicious. We will definitely are coming back to our new favorite restaurant.

Great venue! There were 8 of us and it worked well to be in the main dining room. We had a birthday and he was surprised that he received a bottle of wine and dessert. It made it more special .
