    Christmas day- they were slammed! We arrived early, had an additional wait due to the crowd. We met Jamie the bartender had some excellent drinks, great service- even tho she was also slammed super efficient. Got to our table and met Paul our server- who had already put in a 9 hour day (same story on Christmas Eve), who was super pleasant. He handled our table cheerfully and efficiently. Everyone was hustling in the restaurant but we were not made to feel unwelcome in ANY way. The staff was exceptional, I know how exhausted I was after our Christmas eve with the family and it was lovely to be waited on and cared for! We make a point of spending Christmas day with family at the Bloomingdale Jamesons yearly and are so GRATEFUL they are willing to share Christmas with us. The manager is to be commended- it's not 2 days it's a marathon! Bless you!

    Love the happy hour! Ambiance is comfortable and fun during the holidays! Great food. Great service. I normally don’t eat brussel sprouts but they are so good here the appetizer. Their truffle fries with garlic aioli is the best fries around. Nice serving sizes as well!
