    Our waiter was Rick who was very personable and especially accommodating. We were celebrating big birthdays and Rick brought complimentary champagne, and put a candle in our dessert to commemorate our celebration. The food was v good: The fried avocado Benedict is exceptional and lobster salad sandwich v nice. For dessert:The carrot cake was delicious The chocolate terrarium nicely decorated and tasted pretty good, crème brûlée ok, not outstanding. We were seated outside and it was nicely shaded. Overall 4.5 stars Thank you!
