    We have come here several times for Christmas Dinner and have decided that it is now our holiday tradition. Outstanding service and delightful ambiance. We really enjoyed the harp player and the candlelight. The prix fixe menu had options for everyone and we thoroughly enjoyed the food. My husband had the angus beef and I had the barley risotto. The crab cake appetizer was the size of a dinner cake and paired perfectly with the squash hash bed upon which it was served. Dinner was so filling that we got our peppermint chocolate cake to go. The waitstaff is wonderful. Charming and well trained. We were not rushed at all and could savor the entire experience. Well worth the money!

    Food, service and ambience are all top notch. Crab croquettes are excellent but on the smaller side so consider that if sharing. The choat (pork shanks) were amazing ; my family member stating that it was the best food he ever ate. Salmon was a hit also. Prime Rib was very good but I will order the choat next visit.
