    The food and our waitress were outstanding. In addition, Hannah, the hostess was most gracious to recommend parking areas and arranging a nice seat for my first date with this lady.Overall, it was a great experience!

    Waitstaff only positive thing. We made reservations a week plus in advance. Taken upstairs to the table right in the upstairs bar. Windows on one side wall on the other a bunch of Christmas party dr*nks. Nor returning. Downstairs was like a Restuarant, upstairs more party place.

    I had smoked salmon wrapped mahi mahi. It was delicious! We went for the Christmas themed atmosphere, and lived it! The decorations were so festive! I ordered a Winter wonderland martini, but changed the white chocolate to chocolate liqueur. Perfection! Our waitress was polite and prompt. Our food was delivered hot and quick.

    Appetizers and lite fare was good. Entrees were not good. Sent back my scallops. They smelled like ammonia, terrible. Halibut was overcooked and they didn't ask for temp on steak, it was cooked well done? I was disappointed with the food.

    What a fun and festive atmosphere. The Christmas themed pop-up was just the ticket for a fun night out and the trivia game kept things lively. The specialty cocktails were fun - there are at least 10 different options - we sampled 3 and all were great. The homemade mozzarella logs are delicious - and the added touch of serving them on a small sleigh, decorated was fun and festive. All entrees were delicious - we had the shrimp and grits, salmon special, and fried Korean chicken. The salmon was overcooked - but not horrible. The remainder of the dish was quite tasty. Highly recommend stopping in for the holidays.
