Wonderful service, hostess was very helpful and directed us to a bar for a drink while we waited for friends to arrive. Bartender was so helpful when we asked questions. Friends arrived and we were seated with a pretty lake view and fireplace. Waiter was fun and personable. Laughed with us a lot. Food was plated beautifully and tasted even better. Creme Brûlée was a perfect ending. Lovely evening and will be back for more relaxing nights!
