The team at the restaurant is amazing. The food is great and delivered to the table in short order ( no pun intended). Chris and his team always do a fine job at this establishment. From your first drink at the beautiful bar to the fine dining at the table you can't beat this place for a family get together or a business meeting. I would recommend this restaurant for any true foodies who appreciate the work that goes into this presentation of dining excellence!
