    The food & service were outstanding! The Filet Oscar just melted in your mouth. One suggestion would be is to add some sort of lighting on the tables. It was very hard to read menus, we had to use the flashlights on our phones to read the menu and I noticed a few other people at other tables had to do the same. A candle or soft table lamp would help and also add to the ambience. Thank you
