The food and service were amazing! The history of the building was so interesting. We did have to wait a little bit while to be seated after our reservation time. It is to be expected during the holiday season. It was crowded, so it was somewhat difficult to hear the rest of my party , but that shows how everyone was enjoying their evening. It was a memorable way to celebrate our 25th anniversary. UPDATE: Management reached out immediately and apologized for the additional wait time again. I really appreciate the customer service and quick response. It is a good choice for those special occasions.
