Friendly but courteous and efficient service. Crab meat linguine is not difficult to make, but difficult to do well, because it needs attention. Ours was perfect. Likewise my son's rib-eye, and my daughter's burger was outstanding. Gee's is always comfortable and welcoming, and this was a delightful family lunch.

Excellent Venue and ambiance in a beautiful setting. I went at a quiet time in the afternoon. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable in all areas and calmly dealt with an additional request. The chef must be praised also by accommodating a last minute dietary change. The whole experience was calming and all was conducted at a gentle pace.
