We celebrated my daughter's 10th birthday, but unfortunately, there was nothing special provided for the occasion. Typically, the restaurant offers a complimentary dessert or cake, but this was not the case, which was disappointing. We also ordered the seafood platter, and while the oysters weren't small, they were quite tiny—smaller than expected. In general, we enjoyed the food, but it was a bit too salty for our taste. As for the Fireword white wine, it was fine, but the taste didn’t quite meet our expectations.
