    We had a lovely post-graduation dinner, with my 93 year old mother in law. She would give you a 6-star review, as she enjoyed being able to hear and participate in conversation. The food was excellent. The parking area was full, but we found parking around the corner and enjoyed the scenic walk along the waterfront afterwards.

    Had a wonderful meal and our server (Jack) was the best. He saw to all our needs and was very helpful in deciding how much food to order for 3 diners. The porterhouse and NY Strip were cooked to perfection. We’ve been here close to a dozen times in past couple of years and this particular visit was among the best.
