    We celebrated our anniversary. They gave us the table we requested and made us a special “happy anniversary” card too, and decorated our dessert. We are regulars and they remembered us. Very enjoyable.

    We have been there 3 times now and every single time the food was exceptional. Every single item we have ordered salads, soup, appetizers, main courses and desserts were seasoned to perfection. I don't know how they do it, but it is always perfect. I fancy myself as quite a cook, but I am so impressed with their palates. The service is great, also, always there when you need them.
