    It was a busy night. But all our staff were on their toes and were flawless. Our chef handled the grill with grace and brought home a near perfect meal. All our requests were accepted and delivered. Where some might have been served a slightly overcooked shrimp we received perfection. A1 all around for the staff. We couldn’t have been more pleased. Thank you.
