We love this place but haven’t been for awhile . Beautiful outdoor setting. We could actually have conversation during dinner . The food was great but it took almost an hour to have it served and our waitress hardly came around to check on us which is my only complaint .

From the moment we entered the property, we were greeted warmly and treated graciously. The restaurant ambiance is elegant, yet homey. Service was appropriately attentive. The food was delicious, particularly the wedge salad and side order of carrots. The steak was good, but not exceptional.
