    We were celebrating my birthday. We are eligible for the senior menu offered until 6:00. The course offerings were diverse. I started with a Caesar salad, went on to a perfectly cooked filet mignon. It was served on a cast iron plate. That kept the steak appealing warm. My husband had a filet, too. He had buttery whipped potatoes. It was enough to share. He lived them. I found them a bit over peppered but pepper is not my favorite seasoning. The bread pudding dessert was large and scrumptious! Warm, with the largest pillows marshmallow I have ever seen! Kudos to Gabby,our server. The noise level in main dining area became loud as it filled up. We were in a side room which was quieter. Overall, a lovely experience
