    The hostess wasn’t very welcoming, but everyone else was super friendly! Including the man who seated us and the man who cleared our dishes. Our server Cameron was excellent! He was attentive, always smiling, and super nice to my elderly parents and my toddler. The food was excellent and a great value for the prime rib special. Everyone’s meat was cooked correctly as we each had requested different temps. We requested food for our toddler that was not on the kids menu (different sauce) and they were accommodating. We had to be in the ballroom due to the outside air quality, which we appreciated, so it was different than being in the typical dining room but it was fine. We can’t wait to come back!

    2nd time in a month dining here and it was exceptionally perfect! The Fall/Winter menu needs to be permanent though. The sea bass with Cajun shrimp is amazing. The rum/pineapple cocktail is my absolute favorite PLEASE add that to your regular menu as well! Service was excellent and quality of food was top notch!

    It was a busy Saturday evening and I was so glad I made a reservation through Open Table. We only had to wait about 5 minutes. The food was great and was served in a timely matter after we ordered. Our server was also very nice and efficient. He came y the table often to inquire if everything was ok. We had a great experience.
