Everything food wise was excellent. Service was good but had to ask for refills and one drink took 30 min so when it arrived, we sent it back as we were ready for the check.

We enjoyed our inaugural visit to Judith’s very much. It is always nice when you are able to make a reservation, be seated promptly and have the luxury of pacing the cocktails, appetizers, entrees and dessert to your liking in able to relish and share a new dining experience with friends and family. Menu options and presentation reflect that there is a lot of care and consideration given to each dish.
