    Thank you Zach for taking such great care of us! Your knowledge of the menu and attention to detail was greatly appreciated. You were attentive with excellently timed table touches. We enjoyed a Good Friday Easter fine dining experience with our family. Thank you to the Chefs for an extraordinary meal. The cook on the chateaubrian for two was perfect. The blue cheese crust coins were delicious and a perfect accompaniment for our dish. The creme brûlée was freshly made and creamy. Bravo to the front of house and back of house on a very well enjoyed dinner. Thank you!!!
