    It was our third wedding anniversary so we made reservations for a Friday evening and drove two hours there. The service was impeccable, and they made it such a wonderful, memorable experience. The food was amazing and we ordered so much we couldn't even imagine ordering dessert. They surprised us with personalized menus for our anniversary that we could keep, and our server made sure it was a perfect evening. Of course, the food was amazing and the filets cooked perfectly. Overall wonderful experience that we enjoyed greatly.

    Our food was amazing! Our server, Richard, was just the right amount of attentive and very personable. Don't love the big screen TV over the fireplace, but I suppose we were "technically" in the bar area since we were on the backside of the fireplace. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our evening.
