    A fabulous experience in every way! My husband and I (big foodies) went the night after Christmas for dinner with my in-laws and the food and service were excellent. We ordered the crispy rice with spicy tuna, french onion soup and two salads to start which were all delicious. Same for our entrees: the black cod, 16oz ribeye, pork chop and 4 oz sirloin with the truffle gnocchi, brussel sprouts and carrots on the side. Our server and the chef were very accommodating to my MIL's strict restrictions / modifications. If you can request a server, ask for Jonathan. Since pre-covid, service at restaurants has been fairly disappointing, but not here. Jonathan was by far the best server we've had anywhere in a very long time. Looking forward to returning on our next trip to see our parents.

    I was immediately drawn to the Christmas menu and my group agreed it looked great. We were seated at a table for 8 (we were a party of 6) which was great because we promptly ordered tons of food! We ate family style. I prefer this so that I can taste a bit of everything. Most everything was notable! The only negatives were the yams having no flavor and the overabundance of potatoes! We had two servings of mashed and an order of au gratin. It may have been nice to substitute a salad or veggies for all that mashed. Either way, it was a yummy holiday dinner. Loved the cocktails! Thank you!

    Delicious Christmas Eve dinner. Portions are big…we ordered way too much! The hand braided ravioli with sausage was our fav, but the seasonal lobster tortellini appetizer was a close second. Super cool vibe, great experience!
