    We went here for V-Day and it was really busy, we had to wait for about 20 minutes to be seated even though we were running 10 minutes late... with that being said our overall experience was great! The Filet Mignon was cooked perfectly! My wife liked the Oysters and the Snapper. This place is great for an event or special occasion but is definitely a femine atmosphere.

    Very nice dinner, staff was great, we were the only table that did not have amuse bouche between courses, all other tables did. The tables seemed flimsy and were too close together. The owner of the hotel did come and introduce himself and that was just lovely to hear about his art. Thank you for a nice night.
