Their special was 3/$60 which included an appetizer, entree and dessert. Chocolate raspberry martini 10/10. Butternut squash bisque 9.5/10 should have asked to omit the goat cheese. Entree was John Cross whitefish 10/10. Dessert NewYork cheesecake 10/10. We were a party of 5. The environment was a little too quiet for our liking. We usually like to do a lot of talking and laughing, which we still did, but felt we had to keep it down a tad. The rest of my party rated their experience 9 to 10 as well. Definitely recommend this place if you’re thinking about going.
