    We all loved everything! The food, the staff, the ambiance. We dined here on Christmas Eve and the restaurant was very crowded and the noise level was high-but it did not detract from the overall feeling that we definitely got great service, delicious food, and all of it at a very reasonable price.

    We came over to check in about 15 mins before our reservations and we were seared immediately. Everyone was so friendly and polite. The place was decorated beautifully. We love the fairies that come around to the table no matter how old you are. They were so sweet and make the experience even more enjoyable. Our waiter was wonderful so attentive, never having to look for him, always refilling our glasses and providing prompt and friendly service. Food came out quick and was very good. We never felt rushed. We were able to go by the tree and take pictures. It was just a fabulous time. We had our first experience there last year and now we’ve made this an annual tradition. We look forward to many more years to come.
