My husband and I had a wonderful dinner. We started with Cajun Spring Rolls and then had Filet Mignon (add Oscar) and Champagne Chicken. Our waiter had asked if we were there for any special occasion and we said our 29th anniversary. He surprised us with a very special dessert, cheesecake drizzled with raspberry sauce. Everything was amazing!!!

One of the finest restaurants in Bowling Green. Our waiter, Chandler, continued the consistently fine service. Orders were cooked perfectly. The Champagne Chicken is a signature dish. Loved the flourless white chocolate cake to finish it off. The bar is known for their strong pours.

Our server was Mikayla, and she was outstanding, always attentive and …
