    It was Valentine’s Day, so we knew it would be crazy busy. We should have requested an indoor table, the covered outdoor area was still chilly and way too packed. Our waitress was very friendly. She forgot my wine, but the experience was still very enjoyable. The food was absolutely amazing! It was pricey, but we knew that going in.

    I had never been here before but I wanted to try something different. It was my Valentine’s Day date choice with my fiancé. Seating was very fast for my reservation which was at 7:45pm. The waiter was very polite and took our order when we were ready. When the good arrived I had things on my plate that I didn’t like and never tried before. Filet mignon, mashed potatoes, lobster tail and asparagus.. EVERYTHING was amazing .. even the asparagus wasn’t bad and I normally hate it. Definitely a 10/10.. I will be going back.

    Well, I wanted to take my cake home that I ordered with my surf dinner. The little girl brought me two pieces of cake. I said no I want them to go never came back with the cake I told my server I had to remind her that she came back with only the one piece of cake that was OK. Had to ask a few times where our drinks were. The lobster tails were a little tough on the bottom side, but otherwise they were pretty good. Broccoli was amazing. The lobster bisque was amazing. First time my grandson had it. All three pasta dinners were amazing. I took my daughter there when she was a baby and we moved away about the age of 11 and she wanted to go back because she remembered the buffet that we used to go to on Sundays. Truly wish you would bring that back.
