    Our party of 4 was celebrating two birthdays. We were seated in the upper level, inside the Lido Room. The room was very quiet and although the sun was streaming into the room it was comfortable. Our server, Tyler was wonderful. He was informative, attentive and friendly. The starters of; jumbo shrimp, Blue Point oysters, and Alaskan King Crab legs were absolutely fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Each couple shared and enjoyed perfectly prepared Piedmontese Filet and the blackened Snapper. The chef thoughtfully split and plated the entrees for us, which was a thoughtful touch. The jalapeño potatoes au gratin was our favorite side along with the delicious parmesan broccolini. For dessert we had the Warm Butter & Chocolate cakes. The entire experience from the cocktails to dessert was wonderful.
