Dinner at Rue De Jean has become a little Christmas Eve tradition. We were able to make a reservation easily on OpenTable the week before. We were seated promptly. Our server was absolutely delightful. The restaurant was decorated super cozy and the food never disappoints. We had a great time and plan on doing this again next year.

We had a wonderful dinner at Vincent Chicco’s tonight! We had the smoked mozzarella and the mushrooms as appetizers, which were amazing. Our entrées were delicious as well. The service couldn’t have been better, the ambience was great, and the noise level was perfect, so we could carry on a conversation at our table. Highly recommend it!
