    The Last Page was exceptional! The food was to die for - everything was cooked perfectly and delicious! Two of us got the 'chef experience' where you get 5-7 dishes picked by the chef (appetizer, salad, protein, dessert) and was such a good value. We were able to share it with our party of 4 while ordering our favorite dish for everyone, the spicy penne! The drinks were also delicious and reasonably priced, plus our waitress Abbey was so helpful in helping us decide which drinks and dishes to get! I cannot wait to go back there again.

    17 River has become our family’s favorite birthday place to celebrate! We almost always get the same things, honey biscuits, hummus and fire cracker shrimp for apps. Next up, caesar salads, then our absolute favorite, Lemon Parmesan chicken! A new fan favorite was the Prime Rib sandwich. It was out of this world! Thank you for another fantastic celebration for my son’s 19th birthday 🎂
