My daughter and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal here. We’re from out of town, and I didn’t know what to expect, but everything about the experience exceeded our expectations. The cocktail I had was phenomenal, and the “traditional” Thanksgiving dinner was delicious. My daughter’s truffle fries were among the best I’ve ever had. She went the untraditional Thanksgiving route and enjoyed her French dip sandwich. If I lived nearby, I would have to regularly have a fix of those truffle fries! Finally, the wait staff were thoughtfully available and helpful. I fully agree with a review I read about the overall “vibe” being great here. It’s an all-around happiness inducing spot.
