    We arrived 10 minutes after the restaurant opened on Thanksgiving Day 2024, which meant we were 20 minutes ahead of our reservation time. We were ushered to our table and were told who our server would be. 30 minutes later a manager came to our table asking if we had been helped yet. We told her "No." She apoolgized and acknowledged that our server had not yet arrived at work. She offered us some complimentary food items, and began the process of our order being taken. She was very apologetic and efficient. A few moments later the mangaer introduced us to our server. Service was great from then on; the food was excellent and the atmosphere was great.

    This was my third time resting at this restaurant. The first time was chicken and waffles and I didn’t care for it. But the second time I had the Autumn Harvest Bowl and a side of Mac and cheese… to die for! I loved it so much I had it again last week. I tried making a similar recipe at home but it just can’t compare!! I HIGHLY recommend both!!!

    Had a great experience. Great flavors, wonderful service. (Manny was fantastic). The steak was cooked perfectly, nice and tender, great flavor. The Beef Tartar as an appetizer had a great texture and flavor pallet with the truffle chips.
