    From the minute you walk in to the moment you leave, this was a 5-star experience. A band was playing soft music as we entered and passed a gas fireplace. We had several appetizers, but the egg rolls stuffed with chicken were the favorite. The filets were perfectly prepared accompanied by a huge portion of garlic spinach and mashed potatoes. Our server Liz was friendly and asked all of the right questions to ensure we had exactly what we wanted. We have come here several times and it is consistently an excellent experience.

    Always great drinks, a great meal and amazing service. The only complaint is that the lights over the pizza station were super bright and shining right towards our table. Might want to rethink the direction of them. Otherwise, as usual, a great experience.
