Simply amazing! Our waiter Jeff was also excellent. I had the apple crumb cheese cake a la mode, and he had the peanut butter pie. We were stuffed but had to try the desserts we saw other people having. My partner had the porkchop dinner which he devoured it tasted so good. So thick and juicy they give you a steak knife. NO!! This was two nice sized medallions of chicken with some fresh tomatoes and just a bit of mozzarella cheese and basil. the same old chicken breasts flattened with mozzarella etc. Then a great salad not just standard greens, cucumbers, radishes etc. several more crocks of that soup and made it a meal it tasted so good. ![]() We both had a crock of the crab soup, correctly seasoned and balanced.
