A wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner with family. Very attentive service. Loved the second floor room we were in. Delicious three course pre-fixe dinner. The hanging bacon, of course, was outstanding. The Brussels sprouts were another winner. My family enjoyed the turkey, the short ribs, the steak, and the ravioli. Nice options. I loved my butternut squash soup, my boulevardier, and the crème brûlée . Overall, a quality, memorable meal.

Food was very good. A bit pricey. Very loud. Not a good place to go if you want to be able to hear what the people at your table are talking about.
