Such a great experience! We had the prosciutto stuffed with mozzarella for an appetizer. So delicious! The bottle of Cabernet was like drinking liquid silk. Our server Kara was spot on. Everyone’s steak was cooked to perfection. We were so stuffed, but Kara encouraged us to share a few desserts. The crème brûlée cheesecake is so amazing and the flourless chocolate cake was the yin to the cheesecakes yan. Thank you for an incredible evening with family and friends.
