    We had a lovely dinner before a show at the Wilson Center. I ordered the fish special which was grouper on coconut rice with curry sauce. It was excellent.

    Overpriced lobster bisque with hardly any lobster and a weak greasy base. Menu needs an overhaul, food is lousy beer is flat. Go elsewhere

    Dinner was fantastic. From the crab dip appetizer to the entrees to the special puff pastry Valentines dessert. I had the stuffed salmon and my husband had the filet. Both were delicious and h could cut the filet with his fork. Our waiter, Alan, was great too. Attentive but not overbearing.
