    The Winter Lure in the domes was SO nice and romantic. It’s like you’re in your own little world out there. A little chilly but to be expected in Feb so dress appropriately. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the food and wine. Definately recommend if you want to impress your significant other.

    We went to blue canoe for dine out which was great, initially the appetizers took a while to come out, but after they did it was smooth sailing from there. The Risotto was really well done, crab cakes were nice, and overall we really enjoyed the experience. We were also in a rush to pick someone up from the airport, and after asking to receive the entree and dessert together, the wait staff was able to oblige to get us out faster. All in all, great seafood house in a great location.
