We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner after seeing a show at the state theater. The food was absolutely phenomenal and the service was beyond compare. Zena was our waitress and she made sure we were thoroughly taken care of. The drinks were out of this world and so is the food. We look forward to Visiting this restaurant again. Although it is a little pricey, it is worth every penny.
