Our first experience here was Christmas Day and the dining room was completely booked all day. I have been to few restaurants in the past ten years where the entire crew is in sync and things are working perfectly, but that was the case here. This place ran like a clock and it was fun to watch. Every single bite of food was delicious from the bread at the start to the cake at the end. Matthew was helpful and handled the fact that they were maxed out, powering through and getting it done with a cheerful attitude and a fair timeline. We will be back to this place. We really enjoyed this meal.

Service was friendly, food was amazing. Open on Christmas - my dad and I were happy we went and enjoyed it versus cooking at home. Will likely be back again next holiday.
