    Outstanding food, service and ambiance. They recognized our anniversary by decorating our table, giving us a handwritten card and a complimentary champagne toast. Our table overlooked a window into the prep kitchen. It was so much fun to watch. Truly memorable experience.

    It was our first time on Thanksgiving Day, loved it. My friends and I meet up on the day of Thanksgiving for lunch every year and the restaurant we used to go to closed down. We’ve been trying to find a new place and we decided this is the place to go every year now! Loved their Thanksgiving menu and it was delicious!!

    Our server, Diana, was exceptional. She asked the chef to make a special meal for my wife and I. The chef accepted and Dana was happy to ask on our behalf. Diana was super friendly and very attentive. When we return, we will ask for her section. She was amazing and very kind. It was my daughter's birthday and Diana offered us a free piece of cake. The food was outstanding and there were good sized portions.
