    We had the best Thanksgiving celebration experience at Felina. When we arrived, we were greeted by the warmest hosts. Our waiter, Will was very attentive and the service by everyone was top notch! The food was delicious with excellent presentations. And last but not least is the live music. It was such a wonderful addition; the musicians played very well, and the sound level was perfect. What a memorable dinner and will come back again!!

    I enjoyed my visit to the Red Rooster yesterday. The temperature, taste and quantity of food was very good. Most of the dishes we experienced was excellent. We tasted several of the menu selections. Loved the deviled eggs, fried chicken and jerk salmon . Service was very professional but friendly. The price for the quality of the food we ate was more than welcomed. I loved my experience at Red Rooster and would choose this restaurant again if I’m in this area again.

    Food was excellent! The Prime Rib special on Monday was amazing and honestly perfect for 2 people. It came with salad and tiramisu which was to die for. The wings, truffle fries and spinach and artichoke dip were fabulous. Service was slow on a Monday night. Nothing terrible to complain about. Will be coming back and telling our friends!

    Great selection of wine, cocktails, oysters and starters. Salmon tostado was excellent. We tried the Barramundi with honey glaze and a little heat and lobster roll - both were great. Maya was an awesome server! We’ll be back.
