This has always been our family's go to spot for special occasions. It never disappoints. This was a surprise dinner for my wife and close family following the completion of her cancer treatments. The staff was knowledgeable, welcoming, attentive and caring (especially when they realized what was being celebrated). The Trigger de Mer is always a great choice. My family also enjoys the risottos. The evening was topped off with my wife's personal favorite, peanut butter pie.

Rylan led us through a wonderful meal, she was a bright spot, beautiful smile, and knowledgable! She guided us through 3 courses and we were too stuffed to choose a dessert! Maybe next time!
