Beet salad with quinoa was delicious and it was split in the kitchen for us. That was followed by diver scallops perfectly cooked and artfully plated with scalloped (!) potatoes and sautéed mushrooms. All delicious and better than i expected in such a large restaurant. Our server was a charmer as well.

Strip steak was excellent, but it should be for the price and the portion size. There is no more complementary bread basket – you need to pay $16 for Parker house rolls dessert which was the apple cobbler was missing the whipped cream.

The food was good. We had a party of 4. In all we had 5 meals. We wanted to have the homemade gnocchi to share as an appetizer, but they ended up not having it. We ended up sharing the lobster ravioli, which was good. For our entrees we had the seafood risotto, which was excellent, the cod special (which was good but very small piece of fish), chicken dish and the yellowfin tuna special (was just ok). Overall, we had a nice time and will go back if in the area
