“ We had a last-minute reservation, and we were a big group. They were able to fit us in. Great menu, not TOO much, just the perfect amount of choices. Staff were friendly and even offered my kids paper and crayons to kill time. We had calamari. My 5 year old had a whole plate of lobster ravioli to herself. And my 2 year old had the fish and chips. I had a surf and turf myself. Nothing to complain about, it was all delicious! The whole group had an amazing dinner! ”
