Richard and his staff were fabulous to work with from the initial meeting to plan a large family celebration. The food was excellent and the staff were attentive, yet not bothersome. The perfect place in Howard County for a family event!

A wonderful restaurant in a beautiful setting! Always a pleasure to dine there. The cuisine is excellent, professionally served, and accompanied with the best (not expensive) wines. It is truly a marvel that on holidays like Easter, Mothers Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas the staff serve more than 800 meals and each one is perfectly prepared. A truly great place to dine with friends and family!
