Our family did the family style Thanksgiving dinner option. When our food came out it was cold and The taste of the dishes was mediocre. Well, there were many servers who came around. We always had to ask for our water glasses to be filled. We felt that that something they should have a server coming around and doing regularly without being asked Considering the price that we paid, it was $57 per person and all in all we did not feel the value was worth it. One of the definite positive things about our experience was the ambience and the environment. It’s a beautiful restaurant really unique and comfortable.
