Absolutely amazing ambiance. Very cozy, lots of candles (the tall traditionally romantic candle sticks you generally don’t see any more), a live pianist, beautiful chandeliers, and patio lights strung about in the back garden. Really magical. The apps are okay, I had a beet salad and Josh ordered a sashimi dish which were both alright, nothing really to complain or rave about. The main entrees were absolutely delicious though! I ordered the salmon with brussle sprouts and Josh had the lobster. The salmon was cooked to perfection and had a really nice flavor with the brussle sprouts, I think they baked them in honey to give a smokey, sweet flavor. Josh’s lobster had an amazing sauce, veggie side as well and the dessert was delicious (go with the “milk and cookies” for a light chocolate with cookie crumble combination!) Will definitely come back and perhaps chill at the bar where they have the live pianist and a couple fire places. 

I gave it a 9/10 because the appetizers weren’t my favorite but honestly the night was so nice it didn’t even matter. Definitely recommend!
