The ambience was everything. The service exceptional and the food exquisite. I wish we could have kissed the chef. My husband had the Triple A Flank Steak and I had the Red Deer. Sorry no pictures . We leave our phones during dinner. read more

First, the good- Oh my gosh! This place is AMAZING. We had the Carpaccio, Beet salad, Venison bolognese, and the Red deer tenderloin and venison sausage, with the Bread pudding for dessert. Everything was perfection. In several weeks later, we can't stop talking about my wife's "Beet cocktail". I truly did not expect to find such an amazing restaurant in the tourist area of Niagara. Now for the not so good- the photos online for this place really need to be updated. Not even our Uber driver knew where this was. It turns out it's in the basement of the Sterling hotel. There's not good signage and it seems a bit sketchy as you're going down to it. But don't let that dissuade you. This is an amazing restaurant! read more

Searched this restaurant before coming to Niagara Falls. They open at 530pm. We had a reservation and were greeted right when we arrived. Super friendly staff. Explained the menu and the items on their menu. We ordered the beets, flank steak, bread and pork chop. The beets came out first with a very nice presentation, and beet foam (we'd never seen this before). This was a super good salad. Shortly after the entrees came out. Everything was super tasty and very filling. This restaurant is a few blocks off the main touristy areas but well worth finding it and eating here! read more

Wife and I came here this past weekend to partake in their price fix Valentine's Day menu and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is in the lower level of a boutique hotel called Sterling Inn & Spa. Once inside, you are transported to a modern French inspired theme and ambiance. The chef is very much into sustainable cooking / ingredients including his own garden for locally grown produce and sources all other ingredients from Organic farms and purveyors as well. For this special menu, they had curated items from their normal ala carte selections as well as a few other unique items based on seasonal ingredients. Each meal offered three courses including an appetizer, main and a dessert. My wife and I each chose different apps (sunchokes for me, salad for her), but both had our hearts set on that beautiful looking beef tenderloin and who can't resist a dessert called Chocolate Chocolate? Our server was a transplant from the states, she was super-attentive and full of energy and smiles. It certainly added to the ambiance of the evening. My wife had a glass of red from a local (Organized Crime) which she said paired perfectly with the richness of the steak. Each dish was superbly crafted, cooked and presented. Being a three course meal, including a fourth course (bread service with an incredible whipped herbed butter)...the meal was paced so as to take your leisure and linger over every bite. Truly, the star of the entire meal was the beef tenderloins which quite literally melted in your mouth topped with melted brie and served with the creamiest mashed potatoes I think I've ever had. I would easily put this steak in my all-time top 5! We relished every bite, soaked in the vibe from start to finish and left feeling fully satisfied. Definitely a "special occasion" type restaurant, but also not to be missed if in the area. read more

I'm really impressed with the food and service here. We had octopus, eggplant, deer and a burger. Everything came out amazing. Price is also very reasonable after converting to USD. I'm from NYC and this place can easily compete with a Michelin 1 star. read more

Well. Where do you start with this review.  My wife and I stayed at the Inn ( Separate review) and I decided to eat at AG. The ambiance in the restaurant is wonderful. Nice music playing against wonderful decor relaxes you and sets the table for what is nothing short of an exceptional meal inspired by Chef Cory.   I was welcomed by Erika my Waitress that was more than a waitress. She knew the menu well and recommended the Octopus and the Lamb with a bottle of wonderful Amarone wine. Erika was not rushed and was professionally efficient.   I have to say that Cory knows you eat with your eyes first, smell second and taste last. The Octopus dish was stunning in its presentation with immaculate detail to all the delicious bits on the plate. Wow. So good. The Lamb was no less impactful in presentation and succulence.   All in all a wonderful experience. Erika was a star. The meal was outstanding. Highly recommended for a special occasion, date night or just to treat yourself as you step away from over processed industrial prepared foods that come in Sous Vide bags. You also get breakfast delivered to the room and we enjoyed instruction number 3 for the coffee press. Enjoy the freshness that AG and Cory bring.   John and Sandi from Port Perry read more

Ag Cuisine is a hidden gem inside the amazing Sterling Inn. Niagara Falls, ON. There are so many great things to say about both of these places. For the purpose of this review, ill focus on the restaurant. When you take the elevator down to the bottom floor you are met with a well decorated and immediate relaxing ambiance. The host is quick to greet you and take you to your seat. Seating is quite comfortable and the environment is dimly lit and peaceful. There are a couple of nice corner booths, and side tables for two. There is a large gathering spot, as well as several tables side by side. Close enough to drool over other guest dishes while still maintaining privacy at your own table. The drinks are plentiful and well crafted. I highly recommend the maple old fashion or the Manhattan. If wine is your go to, well, you have a great selection of wines both imported as well as from local vineyards. For the appetizer I recommend any of the dishes. My favourite go to is the charred octopus or the waygu and smoked ricotta meatballs. Either of these would make a great main! The bread add on is worth it, freshly made and served as a variety of types of bread. There are also gluten free options available. For the main, we tried the venison bolanaise and AG burger. OMG was it delicious. The pasta is handmade and venison locally raised. The burger was cooked beautifully and the homemade bun tied it off nicely. To note. This restaurant has its own farm and gardens. You literally receive everything farm to table. The taste well represents that. Every aspect of the dishes are fresh, and I mean FRESH. I am not a bread pudding person, however I will make an exception at this place everytime i come. I am not going to try to sell this, you truly have to try it to appreciate it. I almost ordered one to go. Its that good. the service is on point and we never had to wait for anything (except maybe the bill lol). Our hostess was amazing and very knowledgeable about the dishes as well as the history of the restaurant. Solid 10/10 and recommend you try this place before any other in Niagara. read more

This restaurant is a gem in Niagara Falls City! All the dishes were excellent and the people there were very attentive and kind. They seemed to communicate well with the chef, so their timing of serving was perfect. I was impressed with the garden salad. It was very fresh and flavorful. I also liked the ginger carrot bisque and the flank steak so much. The cherry yogurt cake with meringue and citrus card was also delicious. The chef's work was artistic and fantastic indeed. Their cocktail was also excellent. I tried "Berries, Beets, Battlestar Galactica". The combination of beetroot-infused gin, blackberry, tarragon, and lemon was nice. It was my first time trying Aperol, and the Aperol spritz was a bit bitter for me. Since I do not have alcohol in my daily life, it was fun to try such alcohol. The two women who served me the dishes and cocktails were friendly and kind. The interior was elegant and beautiful. I was glad to find this restaurant. read more

Wonderful spot for dinner when visiting Niagara! We were able to make an early reservation for the bistro menu and be seated right away once they opened. Only downfall to the bistro menu is you have to be seated in the lounge area, which for a table of four, the tables were quite small. Aside from that, the ambiance was quite lovely with relaxing modern music, fun lighting (although a bit dark), and the rooms were decorated nicely. Our waitress was very friendly and promptly took our drink and appetizer orders. We grabbed a bread basket which had three different types (French, cranberry, and potato-onion - all VERY good!) and we also had the shishito peppers which were BOMB!! For dinner, we ordered the flank steak, venison Bolognaise, and the burger. Our sides were all great (can't go wrong with fries) but I highly recommend the cabbage slaw! So delicious! The garden salad was nice as well. My mother said her burger was pretty exceptional and my brother enjoyed his venison as well. My father and I ordered the flank steak rare, but we would have liked a stronger sear on the outside. We had to ask for steak knives as it was quite difficult to cut with butter knives. The garlic aioli served with our steaks was soooo good! Overall nice experience here! I'd love to come back and try out their full menu when we have more time! read more

Ok- so I'm going to be very honest with this. We checked into the hotel and the desk was pushing this place and bragging about it which sometimes makes me nervous. We decided to sneak down for a beverage first and were impressed at the decor, service and I caught a plate walking by us. We opted to have dinner there, it's pretty cool. Pick an app/entree/dessert for 99 ea. they had a few small up charges for certain things high is to be expected. Our server was Fallon, she was absolutely amazing, attentive but not over bearing.. helped out with the menu questions we had and made a few recommendations. I had the beetroot salad, beef tenderloin, and gelato trio.. the goat cheese gelato was hands down my favorite. My partner had the carrot soup, eggplant, espresso crème brûlée. We will be back for sure on our next trip this way. This is by far one of the better meals we had on our trip. read more

Was staying at the Sterling Inn where the AG is located, and had a lovely dinner here. Has an elegant interior, sort of a throwback to the 90s but in a good way. We opted to eat off the much less expensive Bistro menu, a $25 per person experience instead of the $99 prix fixe course. I had the flank steak and it was flavorful and cooked nicely. My partner had the za'atar and coconut shrimp which was likewise prepared well. I can't speak for the $99 prix fixe experience, but we certainly felt pretty good about our Bistro dinner. read more

It's been a few years since our last visit to this restaurant. They completely changed the menu from a la carte to a fixed three course at $99 per person. In this way, they could sell each dish at higher price compared to ordering them alone. We each ordered one three-course, and added a main dish for the kid at $56. They provided us a basket of bread before any dish was served. The bread was a bit dry from my taste. For appetizers, we had the Indian candy and the salads. Both were decent. The salads with goat cheese fondue was quite refreshing. I just obtained some new knowledge that Indian candy was just a way of making the smoked salmon. It was dried smoked salmon. For mains, we tried the beef tenderloin (+$8), the rabbit and the branzino dish. Overall, I like the steak the most. It was so juicy and tender. The sides (spinach and mashed potatoes) were also yummy. The rabbit was a bit salty but it was still tasty. I didn't like how they cooked the seafood dish though. Other than the shrimp, every types of fish in the plate were overcooked and not having enough flavour. For desserts, we tried the gelato combination (stawberry ginger, salt toffee, chocolate brownie) and the chocolate cheesecake. Both were good but not wowing. The stawberry ginger flavour was a bit weird to me, I prefer it without the ginger flavour. Overall, everything was a little pricy at the tourists' area, but it's still worth it with the good food quality and the nice ambiance. read more

This is a farm-to-table restaurant and is a hidden gem, literally since it is not in the tourist area of Niagara Falls. The restaurant has its own farm located in Niagara Falls. The restaurant is inside the Stirling Inn & Spa Hotel. We ate there before over 10 years ago, but it was not a farm-to-table restaurant at that time. The menu is now a three-course fine dining dinner at $99, with a few mains with up-charges. There are also curated wine pairings with each dish. You can order extra appetizers at $12 each. This was useful because I went with my mom this time and she could not eat much so I ordered two extra appetizers for her. You are able to order each dish separately but will be charged room-service rates, which they implied would be far more expensive. So it seems the Stirling Inn guests can order room service from this fine dining restaurant. Each table comes with complimentary bread (raisin bread and sourdough bread) along with soft honey butter. The farm raises they own bees to produce their own honey, which they also sell in jars. We were also given complementary apple cider to start. I ordered the following for my $99 meal: 1. Fall Harvest Quinoa and Greens. Goats cheese fondue, roasted roots, shaved fennel, crusted pistachio, ginger pear dressing. 2. Birch Syrup Glazed Loin of Canadian Red Deer. I chose the deer to be cooked medium rare. Braised raisin and blue cheese purple cabbage, pan-fried sunchokes, walnuts, red currant jus. 3. Apple Pie Spice Mille Feuille. Sugar filo, citrus mascarpone, salted caramel shortbread, apple gel. I also ordered a glass of Pepsi, for which didn't appear in my bill (shh, don't tell anyone!). My mother ordered the following two appetizers: 1. Roasted Farm Beets. House smoked veal tongue, red cabbage slaw, farm fennel puree, seabuckthorn gel. 2. Chili Citrus Grilled Octopus. Charred apple ginger cabbage, pickle pearls, dill labneh. Every dish was superbly presented and tasted fantastic! The service was also superb. Our server was Mel. The seating area is elegant. The Fall Harvest Quinoa and Greens had the right mixture of tastes, and the goat cheese was subtle. The smoked veal tongue was cooked just right. The octopus was cooked perfectly; other restaurants tend to overcook it. My mom loved it so much she was tempted to order another one to take home but it won't taste the same reheated. The red deer was juicy and tender (since it was medium-rare) and the raisins were a nice touch. The Mille Feuille didn't look like a normal one; it was the chef's interpretation. It had soft and crunchy parts and wasn't overly sweet. There is free WiFi from the hotel. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There are 2 wheelchair ramps if you enter from the restaurant's main entrance and then you must take the hotel's elevator down! There are separate male/female washrooms (that are also wheelchair accessible) downstairs in the hotel part; wheelchairs must take an elevator. There is free parking in the hotel's parking lot.

I had the hen. it was fabulous! it had a light char and was the most tender, moist, meat I've ever eaten! Gf had the salmon which was also very good. it's a tad pricey but it was well worth it. A wonderful meal and atmosphere to ring in my 70th birthday! read more

Great atmosphere and great service! The food on the other hand was terrible! No flavor and no seasoning! Ordered the veal bolognese. we did not get a bolognese, we got a back strap that was extremely undercooked and no seasoning whatsoever. This is the most I've ever paid for a meal for two. I enjoy fine dining, and have been to many restaurants around the world. The food here was the worst prepared I have ever had. Please spend your dining dollars elsewhere. read more

We came to this place on a whim for date night after it snowed outside. It's a prix fixe menu. Food is superb -- the flavor combinations are unique and difficult to replicate.

Absolutely amazing fine dining cuisine. Farm (their own) fresh to table. Temps were perfect .... literally EVERYTHING was perfect. Food was explained in detail by our waitress Melanie. She gave excellent service and made it a unique experience. We had the salmon and beef carpaccio for appetizers and they were both unique and delicious. Our main courses were the tenderloin and scallops and omg were they perfectly done and a unique mix of flavors. Definitely the strawberry shortcake and rosemary creme brulee were an excellent end to our meal. This is just an incredible menu and mix of flavors you won't regret trying. read more

Hands down our favorite part of seeing Niagara Falls! We were in town for 3 nights and dined here 2 nights! First night we opted for dinner at the bar and ordered a bottle of wine and the flank steak off the Bistro menu. We were patting ourselves on the back for picking such a great option (I'm sure all are fantastic!). The next night, we sat in the dining room and participated in the $99 3-course dinner. My husband and I had the filet mignon and it was beautifully plated and mouthwatering. Service was impeccable. The suggestions she provided were spot on and we felt absolutely spoiled! In an area where chain restaurants run rampant, this elevated gem should not be missed. You will not regret it! read more

Superb restaurant! Service and food beyond our expectations. The chef using all fresh ingredients creates delicious dishes.

AG cuisine was absolutely amazing in every aspect! First off, the service was phenomenal. Our server and Mia provided us with an over-the-top experience as first time goers. We were informed of how the food was made, the history of the restaurant, and all about the farm our food was coming from. They also gave us a complimentary shot, and helped us pick out the perfect wine pairing to go along with our meal. You can tell our servers were passionate in their work. The food was some of the best I've ever had! Farm fresh is an understatement. I ordered the flank steak and frites, and the steak was cooked perfectly. The dry rub left your mouth watering. My boyfriend ordered the tenderloin of beef and it was outstanding! Amazing! Definitely recommend getting that dish. The meal was 3 course and a bit pricey, but every penny was worth it The ambiance of the restaurant was so relaxing. It gives off a lounge experience. The music was up to date with songs that added to the experience. They always had hand-cut sunflowers that came from the same farm their food comes from. I would 100% recommend reserving your experience as soon as possible. read more

This is our second time dining at AG Inspired. Because of our first experience, we have very high expectation for $99 Three Course dinner tonight. We had a party of 4 this time, so we ordered different appetizers, 4 different mains, and finish up with bread pudding and cream brulee. The appetizers are not bad, beef carpaccio is the best out of all, a must ordered item on the list. The salmon candy and the salad are nothing special. We have 4 different mains including scallop, birds (quail and duck breast), beef tenderloin and branzino. The scallop and birds are all a bit overcooked in my opinion. Beef tenderloin used to be excellent, but this time it is just a ok to me. Branzino is a bit too dry, but the tiger shrimp on this dish is very good. I wish they can come up a main with the tiger shrimp! For the dessert, the waitress recommended the bread pudding. The presentation is not too good, but the taste is not bad. For a $99 price point, I wouldn't come back again. read more

We made a reservation for AG Inspired Cuisine after I did a bunch of research on "best restaurants in Niagara Falls." I'm from San Diego so I had no idea where to eat. I have always wanted to go to the falls since I was a kid. Anyway. We were greeted right away at the door and taken to our table. The ambiance was amazing. We got dressed up which was fun. The location isn't hard to find. We were given bread and butter (delicious) and water. We ordered a reasonably priced Cab Franc which is a treat because Cab Francs are pretty expensive in San Diego. I know the menu is different every night but I ordered the beef carpaccio and my boyfriend paid extra to order the shrimp toasties. Both were very tasty. I'm not a huge mustard person but the mustard on the carpaccio did compliment it well. I was concerned the shrimp would be like an east coast "shrimp salad" but it wasn't. It was well seasoned and complimented by the sauce it came with. Would order both again. For an entree I ordered the beef tenderloin. I was between the duck and the lamb but our waiter said the beef had been on the menu for like 15 years (something like that). I was like "okay, Obvs I'll order." Okay. I like Brie. I like almonds. But I ended up scraping all the Brie off the steak so I could eat it. It was such an overwhelmingly strong Brie I couldn't taste anything else. The steak was cooked absolutely perfectly (I asked for medium rare). The duck was phenomenal. Highly recommend. Like, omg. Sooooo good. For dessert I ordered the Creme brûlée with ginger and rosemary. Cool idea. But not dessert. I love food. I love dessert. Took three bites and left the rest. Neither me nor my boyfriend wanted to eat it. It's almost like it would have been better if it had been positioned as an appetizer. The category of "dessert" doesn't work. It's not that it's not tasty. But reorganizing and putting it as an appetizer could be a creative way to serve Creme brûlée. My boyfriend ordered the hazelnut chocolate cheesecake. Highly recommend. If there's like 5,000 choices and you have to make one, order the hazelnut cheesecake if it's an option. Overall exactly the experience I was hoping for. The food was incredibly prepared and well surpassed my expectations. Though I may not order some of these dishes again, that doesn't mean someone else isn't looking for that exact taste of what I wasn't a huge fan of. The restaurant definitely deserves five stars and I highly recommend you try it out. read more

We had an excellent meal and the seating is spacious and sophisticated. The venison and lamb were both superbly and creatively prepared. The squash bisque was rich and nicely spicy.

This is the perfect special dinner spot. Beautiful menu with a 3 course dinner. Quiet and intimate.

In terms of ambiance, this is the finest restaurant I've been to in Niagara Falls (and I've been to all of the highest rated spots in this area). From decor to service, this place is class all the way. Bonus: Saturday nights they have live music. Last weekend they had a great jazz duo that really enhanced the experience. Overall, food was very good. Being a Toronto foodie, I wouldn't count my duck confit among the best I've had, but it was good. I also didn't love my beet salad. But I'm still awarding AG 4 stars because everyone else in my party was very happy with their meals...particularly the bone marrow starter (definitely get the suggested whiskey shot on the side), the octopus starter (stellar!) and the coffee crusted venison (a very lean meat for the fat conscious lol). I would probably skip the sides of "sharing vegetables." But creme brulee was on point. So yeah, this is a beautiful restaurant and worth trying if you're looking for some true fine dining just a few minutes' drive from the casino. read more

This is a very very excellent restaurant. Food is incredibly delicious. The chef takes Culinary art to another level. Every dish is delightful and meticulously prepared.

Simple enjoyable food but yet heartfelt love in the preparation of layers after layers. I wouldn't be surprised if Michelin stars it upon discovery.

This restaurant is tucked away downstairs in the sterling inn. We made reservations a couple weeks in advance. After a long day of site seeing we rushed back to our hotel to get ready because it claims to be dressy attire. I changed out of my jeans and put my on to glam up the evening all to be sat next to a guy in sweatpants shorts and a T-shirt and sneakers?! They left and the next patrons wore sweatpants and Nike's?!? At the end of the evening I inquired to find out yes they are dressy but they do enforce a dress code? Does that make any sense????? So note feel free to show up in a bathing suit if u want. They will serve anyone. On to the food. AMAZING! It's a prefix menu $59 for three courses. Everything we ordered was so delicious and fresh. Our waitress helped me decide between the Hen and quails. the quail is the way to go! The berry risotto was so delicious and paired perfectly with the well seasoned quail. Nom nom. Pumpkin bread pudding just solidified our evening choice of dining. read more

Very upscale. Upscale; in atmosphere as well as price...some things I would never try of my own will, I have experienced and am proud I did so. The great chef takes his time and you will know it. Good food at a hefty charge, keep in mind all the Canadian taxes and the special Niagara Falls area tax; you will be spending 2 hours here to dine as well as any and all that is in your wallet... Chef Cory Linkson, threw in his best, and provides you with an exquisite albeit time consuming meal. This restaurant is fine dining to the "T."

AG Inspired Cuisine is one of those hidden gems that you must visit at least once when you are in the Niagara Falls region. A true farm to table experience, amazing wine pairing, and exceptional service (Thank you, Kelly). I'm also writing this review based on memory. I know this memory might have been dated, but AG was one of my favourite gastronomical experience I've ever had. I remember searching on Yelp for the perfect fine dining spot to celebrate an anniversary. AG popped up on my search, and the reviews were surprisingly high. As I dig a bit more about AG, I found out that they have a hidden 5 course prix fixe. I don't know if they still offer it now but it wouldn't hurt to ask when you are making the reservation over the phone. This restaurant is located inside the basement of Sterling Inn & Spa. I absolutely loved the classic red and white decors with the chandeliers. We were seated in a cozy corner booth. (It was a weeknight, we pretty much had the whole restaurant to ourselves lol). I remember asking our server, Kelly, what does AG stands for. Would you like to take a guess? . . . . AG actually stands for the chemical element symbol of Silver! (Get it? Stirling Silver?) lol. So clever! We absolutely loved the food creations with beautiful presentation, and the wine pairing was spot on. One particular dish REALLY stood out was the beet juice infused raw scallops with fish roe on top - it literally tasted like salmon sashimi :D That was a really fun dish... it really threw my taste buds off (in a good way!) Our server found out that my partner loves cheese, especially blue cheese, so she got us a generous nibble of this delicious blue cheese paired with a rose ice wine from a local winery. Who knew blue cheese and ice wine would go SO WELL TOGETHER! It was the perfect way to finish off our meal :) I would highly recommend AG. Definitely a romantic spot for a nice dinner. I hope to come back again soon! I know I've been saying it for years lol. #brb #nextromanticgetaway . . . The All-Ontario, Road Trip-Worthy, farm-to-table Restaurant Series (1 of 17) read more

Spent the weekend at the Sterling Inn and Spa. We were able to book a table through the OPENTABLE app for Friday and were resigned to a take out order for Sunday. However, after placing the take out order tables opened up. So, we booked another in-restaurant dining experience. NOTE: The restaurant is open from 5 pm to 10 pm. Our only issue was that it took us 4 or 5 tries in order to cancel the take out order, which we made through OPENTABLE. They require that you contact the restaurant directly to cancel take out orders placed by them. In the end, our waitress on the first night was able to coordinate the cancellation. This should not have been this hard to do. When we arrived at the restaurant, it was fairly empty on the first night (Friday). We were seated right away after filling out the COVID form, which we were allowed to do at our table. On the second night (Saturday), which we had trouble getting a reservation at first, the restaurant was not as busy, which was surprising for us. Once we were seated, drinks were offered right away. We noticed that every table had a bottle of hand sanitizer. The restaurant offers a 3 course dining experience. The menu is digital and you need your smart phone to bring scan the code to see it in your browser. Anything on the menu with "supplement" has an additional price which is stated. So, supplement 9 means it is $9 extra and not included in the $65 per person dining experience. For our first appetizer course, we tried the Carpacio & Veal Tongue and the Charcuterie plate with an assortment of meats and cheeses. Both dishes were well presented and prepared. Any condiments were also on your plate as a design element. On our second night, we had the Charcuterie plate and the Octopus. OMG! The Octopus appetizer was SO GOOD that I ate EVERYTHING on the plate! The second course contained mains. On our first night, we had the Deer and the Beef Tenderloin. Both meats were very tender and I would highly recommend. My wife noted that there was no chicken on the menu but two seafood dishes. On the second night, we had the Sea Scallops and the Beef Tenderloin. The Sea Scallops were melt in your mouth....then again, so were the meat dishes. Finally for dessert, we tried the Cheese Plate, the Cheesecake tart and the Creme Brulee. The Creme Brulee is not on the menu and was offered to us on the second night. Truth be told, we heard it offered to another couple on the first night, so, we recommend that you wait until dessert to order dessert as they may offer something else up. Of the three, we particularly enjoyed the Creme Brulee. Finally, we tried the Maple Whiskey on crushed ice on the recommendation of one of the spa employees. He wasn't wrong, it was SO GOOD! My wife and I both enjoyed it very much. We'd like to thank the staff for the excellent service. We had the same waitress on both nights and she did a WONDERFUL job! The food was just PERFECT! We would highly recommend. read more
