This is a pricey restaurant, but absolutely worth the money. We tried the following:
-Chili Glazed Calamari (appetizer) - the BEST calamari we have ever eaten
-Tomato, Mozzarella Salad - very fresh, but not the traditional Italian dish; I thought it needed more basil and less Balsamic Vinegar
-Grilled Pork Chop/Sweet Potatoes/Apple Chutney - Delicious, however, the mashed sweet potatoes were a bit bland
- Crab Cake/Filet/Asparagus/Garlic New Potatoes - The filet was tender enough to cut with a fork, the potatoes were bland
-Orange Bread Pudding - Sinfully delicious

Our server was courteous and very knowledgeable about their dishes.

Several sites mention this is a "family friendly" restaurant, but I would disagree. This place is for adults and their pocketbooks.
