We started off the night being greeted by very courteous servers who helped us to our table. They then remembered we had our anniversary and proceeded to bring us 2 glasses of champagne, a very nice touch. Our starters and mains were very good and portions were not too small so we felt we ate well. The desserts were heavenly. I would love to go again and recommend it for any couple or for any occasion.
