Fantastic vibe, beautifully decorated, great energy, gracious service. 2 loved the salmon, 1 adored the linguini with shrimp, we all devoured the Brussels sprouts and sauteed mushrooms. The owner Jeanie gave us a backstage tour, a huge roving band of Santas serenaded the room, HO HO HO we are hooked!

We had delicious lunch enjoying the filet mignon sandwich & shrimp on the strawberry salad with excellent service from Ryan. The atmosphere was cozy with the glowing fireplace & fabulous red wreath hanging from the ceiling. So festive! It was my friend’s first time there. She, like me, will be back soon.

We went before a show and the restaurant filled up quickly. I had their soup special, pumpkin with asparagus which was delicious. But my Entree was even more fabulous. I ordered the Spaghetini Arrabiato and I’m still regretting that I couldn’t finish it! It was so delicious. The restaurant is BYOB which we didn’t know. But we were able to walk less than a block and pick up a bottle of wine. I would completely recommend this place.
