    This is a very good restaurant! Its just really expensive! Our bill with apps drinks-entree and dessert was 220.00 without tip. Sometimes I wonder whether the price is worth the experience. As long as you know going in that is very pricey than all good. Im blessed to be able to afford this type of restaurant but it still makes me pause when I get the bill.

    Excellent meal! Terrific service! Not too loud tonight at all. We enjoyed the clam soup, piggies on a river raft, Chilean sea bass and elk chops. Go now and best the crowds of summer!
