We appreciate that the restaurant is open on Thanksgiving and that they offer a prefixed Thanksgiving menu but that one can also order from the usual menu. The staff were kind and attentive, and the food was delicious.

It was really good. The lamb chop fondue is amazing and I highly recommend them. I had the filet and lobster tail it was awesome. The only issue was the fondue was weird, flavor wasn’t bad but the texture was off. I had the Mac and cheese and they don’t do a lobster Mac but I asked for it and they made it. So I appreciated that. I have been here many times and I will continue to return.
