Was surprised to see the menu offerings were rather standard fare. Service was ok but nothing special really. The waiter was attentive and didn't let us daly at all. We brought our two well behaved dogs but only the nearby guests made them well welcomed. The staff could care less and did not even offer them water which was unusual for us anyway.

Had the crab cakes. No flavor. Made with some fluffy texture that did resemble crab meat. The chicken breast with mustard sauce was lacking any flavor. It came out piping hot like from microwave and when is mustard black. Great atmosphere and the drink was good.

Outstanding food, drinks, and service. Wonderful desert atmosphere and ambiance with chef inspired entrees and unique daily specials. Extensive menu of creative chicken, beef, pork, and seafood selections. Their colossal shrimp cocktail is a special treat. Great appetizers, salads, soups and desserts. Reservations advised. Highly recommended.

We had a very good experience as the service was very attentive and the food was very good, and flavourful although my gf sent her steak back to have it cooked some more as she had requested medium rather than rare. We sat out in the court yard and it was beautiful and inviting. Although it was a cool evening there were plenty of heaters to keep everyone comfortable. We will no doubt be back. Cheers!
