    We had the most wonderful experience recently at the Lawn Terrace where we dined to celebrate our 38th wedding anniversary. My wife and I were treated like royalty as the staff there couldn't do enough to recognize our anniversary. The food was incredible which is even more impressive as we both have to eat gluten free and on this front we were accommodated exceptionally. This was our first time dining there and between the staff, the food and the magnificent view, we were so impressed that we are already planning our next visit!
