    We were lucky enough to get a table during the Grand Illumination and the food absolutely matched the beauty of the parade. Every bite of our meal from the pumpkin soup (that has the most amazing homemade croutons!) to the tuna tartare that was just melt-in-the-mouth delicious and the delicious scallops…every single bite was just amazing. I’m absolutely going to come back because I saw someone else get the GL burger and I NEED to try it! Looked amazing! Our server Christa was absolutely amazing. Extremely attentive but without being overbearing. Our drinks were always tended to and she was very knowledgeable about the dishes we were eating. The whole experience was just delightful from beginning to end.

    Our server EMMA is the best! She’s very attentive to our needs and always serving with a smile. Ambiance is great! Food items offered in the menu today are all delectable, except the fish which is a bit salty and the chicken is quite dry, nevertheless the pulled beef, soups, desserts are all pleasing to my palate.
