The young man seated us, and the waitress came quickly to take our drink orders. Although she got a couple of minor things wrongs, it did not take away from our experience. I had the lasagna, and my husband had the salmon. They were both delicious. I do not recommend the mango ice tea though. I did not like it. Great experience.

The fowl language was unbearable not to mention when the adults came over, they were complaining about their children’s food and service. I sure hope the adults didn’t complain just to get prices waved, the children seemed happy with the food, they were just loud and vile.

Super slow and as a result my dinner spent way too much time under the heat lamps, my fettuccine was totally dried out on the top and i probably should have sent it back. The lobster bisque was tasty but lacked any hint of lobster. What used to be one of my favorite restaurants has lost its allure and is not much better than the food court in the casino
