Our wait staff was great. Savana was excellent! Good recommendations, friendly and attentive! We have a family member who eats vegetarian and he loved the stuffed portobello. Our meals were delicious. Outdoor ambience was perfect. Could not have been better. Shared ice cream dessert of coconut and espresso chocolate was wonderful! Thank you for such a lovely holiday dining experience!

This restaurant is pretty amazing. When you walk in and are seated, you feel like you’re in Europe or somewhere. The wait staff is top notch, even better than on a cruise ship. The food is excellent. My favorites are the 1905 salad and the scallop appetizer.

Loud in a good way. What an experience. My first time eating here last night. I walked in, my first thought was oh no, why is the floor so dirty with napkins? I learned soon enough why. So much fun.
