Had our mother there for her 84th. Great food and the service was excellent. While the restaurant was busy there was no wait on food. Had a special dessert, poached pear, that was really good. I’ve eaten there several times and will be back

Always a great dining experience. The variety of food and quality is amazing. We were needing to get in and out, as we were going to a show, the waiter was amazing and spot on. The vibe was fun and lively. Great seeing the restaurant packed and full of people gathering, dining and enjoying.

To start, my wife and I each ordered a cocktail, both of which were well made and quite tasty. We then ordered a first course, with my wife opting for the Crab Maison and I the Oysters Rockefeller. Both were excellent and the crab portion was huge. As a result and after sharing some of her crab with me in exchange for a single oyster, my wife’s appetite was completely sated. With what i had already eaten, i passed on a main and instead opted for a small spinach salad, which I completely enjoyed. As for the service, our server Bryleigh was attentive, helpful, and excellent at her job.
