We had cocktails at the bar high top table. Drink very good. Pom margarita delicious I had 2. They give you a basket of homemade potato chips & onion dip. Get the lobster wedge salad & the charcuterie board Filet mignon delicious. Lobster & shrimp risotto very good. No room for dessert.

I am sorry to say, but the charcuterie board had a lot of cheese and not a lot else that was appetizing and was obviously prepared hours before it was served because the meat was very dried out. Service was fine but they were out of a lot of options since they close in another few weeks. Everything was pretty rundown. It was disappointing. We expected a lot more based on the location in the park.

We had 3 cheeseburgers. They were dry and tasteless and overcooked. If you can’t serve a decent hamburger, your kitchen is in trouble, and the place was pretty empty! The side salad was served with a couple of dashes of balsamic vinegar. Underwhelming to say the least. Best part of the meal was the cocktail and complimentary chips and dip.

Duck confit tacos were a disappointment. Meat tasted old. Small serving. Ordered a large glass of wine and am pretty sure was given the small. Charges for a large. Nice setting and the prices are actually reasonable.
