This is our favorite special occasion dining spot. Wonderful, never been dissapointed!
Outstanding atmosphere.
Outstanding service.
Outstanding food.
Second to none.
Elegant dining with a pricey tag.: I remember going to this place with a rather large group. Walking into the place made you feel as if you were going somewhere in time, the decor, the atmosphere, the elegance really was very impressive to me. The service, the food was superb even though the prices were higher than in most places. I have sought to go back to this place and experience it again because it was one of the most memorable places i've eaten at.
