Over all it was a great experience. We had great and knowledgeable wait staff. They were all both courteous and polite. It was our first time visiting and we were celebrating our 19th year Anniversary (Praise the Lord!) Our drink server shared what was good when we asked her opinion but then said that our waiter would be the one to answer any food questions as he was an expert in that area. She was right, he did an amazing job with suggesting items. We were not expecting an anniversary dessert nor the cotton candy. Both were a real treat! We had a really fun time. We will be back.
