We weren’t notified there was a limited menu for Christmas eve and may have chosen somewhere else. We have a vegan in the group and there was only one entree option for him when there were several on their normal menu which is what I looked at when making the reservation. Service was minimal at best. I got one cocktail and was finished with it before I ever even got appetizers (which took an hour) and was never asked if I wanted another. Several others in our group reported the same. We had a party of 9. Most of the food was very good except the lobster pasta (which one described as “had no flavor and tasted like day old leftovers). Overall would probably not return but was definitely not one of the worst experiences I have had.

Chef Gabe outdid himself tonight. The special, a pork chop in a parsnip puree and blueberry demi glaze served with brussell sprouts, was divine.

Great food. Enthusiastic and accommodating staff. Better try for reservations as it’s sometimes pretty hard to get in especially during ski season…..
