    This restaurant was a pleasant find. We had a very nice experience overall. The ambiance was very pretty and modern. Waiter was very nice. I requested that the write happy anniversary on the desert plates but was disappointed that it was not obliged. Appetizer lobster portion was a bit too small for 36.00, other than that we had a very good experience and would like to return to experience the rest of the menu.
