Friends of ours took us out to dinner for my birthday and we like to try new places. This restaurant is one that I have been to before but many years ago. Our servers were very good and the food was excellent. Drinks were also very good. We enjoyed the calamari and lobster dip for appetizers. Both very tasty. My husband had the rack of lamb and one person ordered the lobster risotto and 2 ordered the Fettuccine in the asiago cheese wheel. Great presentation and great ambience throughout the evening. Definitely recommend for a special occasion.

We had a very nice evening dining in the dome. Cozy and comfortable environment and delicious food. A little bit of cold comes from the floor but not enough to disturb the night. They have good heaters and blankets.
