The Beef Wellington was to die for -- awesome! The Statehouse is a lovely location overlooking the lake, and surrounded by Christmas lights this time of year. A great place to celebrate a special event.

We had the calamari and the Thai chicken flatbread. The calamari was good with great flavor, but smaller pieces. The flatbread had a thin crust that we really like and it had great flavor, great sauce, and lots of chicken

The waitress was EXCEPTIONAL! We came after graduation and they were able to seat and serve us very quickly. She was very attentive and friendly! Despite being later in evening, we weren’t rushed and the staff let us enjoy our food and family time. Normally we go to the other one, but now I’d highly recommend this location too!
