The whole nine, from start to finish. I am not a big restaurant guy, but loved every minute. I was with a lovely woman, so that helped😊, and maybe biased this review. She had scallops and risotto, I had lobster linguini. She had the silly, tasty, and exciting bubbly berry cocktail (feat. dry ice!), I had the pineapple picante. We were pleasantly full, so we passed on dessert, but we read the menu and enjoyed that. Everything was just about as good as I could have wanted. Food prep and delivery: fast, courteous. Scallops seared perfectly. Solid chunks of tender lobster in tomatoey sauce. Picante cocktail with perfect Scovills. Wait staff and hosts put up with my attempts at humor. It was a great way to come into town, warm up up on a cold night, smile and be taken care of.
