Visited on Thanksgiving. The weather was dreadful and we were an hour early, but were seated and allowed to enjoy some drinks for as long as we wanted before ordering. The food was delicious. I had the paella (massive portion!) and the other members of my family from the UK had the turkey dinner from the Thanksgiving specials menu, a burger, steaks and fish and chips. Everyone loved their food; it was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. We followed up with a cheesecake and a chocolate dessert. The service was efficient; attentive but not intrusive. I'd highly recommend and will definitely be back!
