Received a $100 dollar reward for wine offer. Great food, Lillian was friendly and knowledgeable. We both ordered the filets withe 2 sides included. Ordered another side order of risotto per Lillian’s recommendation. Good value for around $140 + free $100 for wine. Every time we come here, we ask ourselves why we don’t come more frequently.
