    The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. I had quiche Lorraine, which was fluffy and cheesy and totally enjoyable. The side salad with dressing was equally savory. my friend had the papaya stuffed with chicken salad. She said it was excellent. The presentation was beautiful and the amount of food was very generous. Our server, DIANA, was very pleasant and efficient and kept drinks refilled without our needing to ask. It’s easy to see why this is an extremely popular restaurant. I cannot wait to return.

    We were there on a Monday so the dining room wasn't full and the noise level low compared to busier nights. The food was good but is all ala carte so it was extremely expensive. Portions are large, though, and we brought home enough leftovers for dinner tonight. Service was very good and they passed my coffee test (arrives in a reasonable amount of time after request and offers a refill without being asked). My only complaint is that they put a large amount of food on a very small plate. It's hard to add a bit of any side dish or to cut anything without some landing on the table. Dessert is definitely big enough to share.

    I brought three couples of my best friends to the restaurant to celebrate one of our friends 75th birthday. It was a hit! First of all, we were greeted immediately upon arrival, moments later we were brought to our beautiful large table that was set for us. Wait staff approached almost immediately to provide fresh ice water and inquire about other drinks. Our waitress suggested a Cabernet, we bought a bottle and loved it. Many ordered the sunset dinner which included seafood, steak and/or chicken. I had the chopped steak and fries. An awesome piece of meat when cooked medium rare which this was. Dinner ended with a great dessert for my friend. The night was a success. Thank you!
