Amazing event for my family with excellent food and service. Fantastic reach out by management of my next day to-go order (prepared the same night vs in the morning) and sweets for a dream calm down before leaving. Can’t visit and dine often enough!

Food was very good, as usual. Not a busy night since it was before Thanksgiving. Service was slow at times, waiting on drink delivery mainly - which was frustrating because the bar was totally empty and only a few tables were occupied. Lots of chatting by the wait staff and bar staff. Just were not on point that night.
