Jake took great care of us. We were celebrating 35 years of marriage, and they surprised us with wine, a non- alcoholic drink for my husband, and a delicious fudge with sparklers! They made it even more special by adding sparklers, which I love, and a card signed by all the staff members!! Jake did a great job recommending meat and cheeses for our Charcuterie, and the gluten-free bread was amazing. My husband said the prime rib sandwich was "really, really good, in fact outstanding!" It was my first time trying a Connecticut lobster roll, which I'm glad I tried, but I will probably go with the prime rib next time. Great job, everyone, and we'll see you in the summer!

We were celebrating my birthday and had a delicious dinner. The surprise and delight of the evening happened after dinner when we sampled our monthly wine. Kinga made sure that I had dark chocolate truffles. Her kindness and personality made the evening very special.
