    This was by far my favorite of restaurants in this caliber. The waiter was great, he was very friendly and had a great personality. The food was phenomenal! I loved the lobster mac and cheese and the sweet potato casserole. I will definitely be returning

    Three of us went for my birthday dinner tonight. It was the best meal I have had since I last ate at the Biltmore in Phoenix,AZ. The presentation was amazing, the waiter “Matthew” was friendly and knew the menu well, excellent at explaining the intricacies of how the dishes were prepared, was always there when we needed something and attentive to our table without being obtrusive. He was the perfect waiter. I had the sea scallops which were perfectly sautéed and served with a variety of steamed vegetables. We all started with the “Heirloom Beet salad” which was so good that Matthew was kind enough to get us a print out of the professional recipe! To finish off an outstanding meal, I had the Tiramisu, which although extremely rich, I was able to finish every last bite! A fantastic evening was had by all! I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation!

    We had a great time celebrating our daughters 15th at Buca! The portions were amazing for our group of 7- when we complimented the chef on an excellent meal, he brought out a platter sampler of desserts! Ambience, memories and great food.
