    We had a great thanksgiving dinner! The turkey was moist. The butternut squash soup is my favorite and I’m always so happy they have it each year. The staff is always friendly and Juan, Samantha, Tricia , Mallory, Joe. all came by to say hello. Jocelyn was our server and was very attentive. My husbands mother always loves to come with us for Thanksgiving and I love not having to cook or do dishes 🤣. Thank you for another wonderful Thanksgiving dinner!

    Everything was wonderful for my son's graduation dinner. Only complaint would be the parking. We had to park 2-3 blocks away in the AC Hotel lot and walk to the restaurant. It would be helpful if they provided better parking instructions or a valet option - wj9ch is what I expected. I am used to valet when I dine so this was quite frustrating after being at a college graduation all afternoon.

    Our starter of Harvest corn soup was delicious; the creamed soup was topped with corn relish and a few kernels of popcorn, which added a very different twist to the overall taste. We had scallops with pork belly and zaatar coated cobia, both of which were cooked to perfection. Dessert consisted of chocolate mousse, which was a “dry” version of mousse and a glass of house made limoncello, which unfortunately tasted more like lemon flavored water. We could have done without the mousse or the limoncello. The noise level was high in large part due to a family with children having dinner. The service was excellent! We would definitely return.
