We absolutely loved everything on the Menu from the Scallops to Steak Tenderloin and the sides were all prepared very well. The restaurant service was wonderful especially considering it was Valentines Day. A little lighter side music would add to the ambiance is about our only negative comment. Light jazz, classical, easy listening or piano or instrumental. We will be back and highly recommend.

Excellent Staff and Service! Sushi was good but the Crab Rangoon was excellent! First time I’ve had this where there is actually bits of crab and seasonings in a Rangoon! Not frozen they said made fresh.
