    There was a live band playing during dinner which added to the atmosphere and everyone I encountered was very friendly and polite. Dinner was excellent-had the crab cakes. My friends got the Cobb salad with chicken and another got salad with salmon and we all enjoyed our dinners were very good. Brussel sprout appetizer was delicious and cocktails were amazing. Will definitely be back! And the dessert chocolate cake was decadent!!!
