    Our waiter was attentive and the food was delicious. We always enjoy the mix of crackers/bread with butter/hummus and olive oil to start. We added the shrimp cocktail which were a good size of 5 shrimp for 2 of us to share. We enjoyed the fried shrimp perfectly coated and the Prime Rib was tenderly cooked to perfection. The side of Cole slaw, baked potato and asparagus was paired wonderfully. The 4 roses small batch select bourbon was really good and the white chocolate martini was a good mix of vodka and liqueur, with chocolate rim and the added touch of a Hershey kiss on the bottom.
