    We had reservations for 11am expecting a brunch menu however we were surprised that there was only a lunch menu which began at 11am. Food was very good but wanted some brunch options

    Not a great new years dinner. One server for umpteen tables?? I felt bad for the sweet waitress who was clearly over her head. And the young bus boy who was literally running from the tables to the kitchen and back… It took forever to be served warm martinis. We were with good friends and made the most of it but sadly it was a bad night for chi chis.

    We had a nice time for Thanksgiving lunch. The pool area seating was pleasant. Our server was good. Food got mixed reviews from our party of 4. One person asked for steak sauce to be served on the side. She received her plate covered with steak sauce, the other person who ordered steak got his sauce on the side. Turkey was quite dry and green beans were essentially raw. Espresso martini was good and the pies for dessert. With tax, tip, 20% service charge and a price fixe menu, it was a spendy Turkey day (well north of $600 for 4), but I didn’t have to cook or wash dishes.

    Excellent food, service, cocktails, and environment. Liz, our server, was amazing. She was attentive, fast, and provided great recommendations. I had never been here before and loved every minute of it. I am already looking forward to going again. The Fall Salad and Steak Frites were delicious!
