    One of the best meals I’ve had in a while! We started with a lemon basil salad, and to drink we had a White Peach Sangria and an Apple Cider Spritz. For dinner my husband had the Mediterranean Chicken, with a side of the soup of the day (Southwest Beef & Veggie) and heirloom carrots. Tasty and huge portions. I had the special, which was a halibut served over mashed potatoes and delicious crab bisque—it was out of this world!! The special also came with two sides, I chose the whipped sweet potatoes and the corn pudding, both yummy. Cozy, romantic atmosphere, and phenomenal service!
