The food here is so good! We stopped in before heading to see the nutcracker and they timed everything perfectly for us to get to the show on time. The food was outstanding, the drinks were also very good (they even offered to make a mock tail for a family member). We sat next to a larger party but it wasn’t loud for us. Our waiter was incredible, super attentive and answered all our questions. I know some of the reviews on here say that the service can be “questionable” but our experience with everyone working at the restaurant was great! Will definitely be back.

Always a great experience dining here. It was nice to see the place bustling with energy and a holiday vibe. Service was great with our waitress Jenna very knowledgeable and helpful with the broad menu selections and specials. We had our favorites and tried new dishes including two desserts.

The food was very good. Service was kind, thoughtful, and listened. They seemed a bit understaffed, but the service was generally attentive. I will come back again.
