Our Christmas Eve dinner was wonderful. Every course was beautiful and delicious. The service was attentive and friendly. Vegetarian options are not an afterthought; they have an entire vegetarian tasting menu. They even prepared a couple of dishes for us off the regular menu without the pancetta or speck. They will happily accommodate your dietary needs.
