Food was excellent- well prepared and nicely plated. Service was good, but not great. There were very few customers in the restaurant but server did not check in with us very often. Staff is quite knowledgeable. This has become our go to place when we attend theater.

We went for the Thanksgiving dinner which had a special menu. We chose the prime rib and it was very good. They so had great deserts. We were glad to have such a nice place to eat Thanksgiving dinner together while traveling. Reservations were required for this dinner. We came in early to have drinks, but they were able to seat us right away. The “Bootlegger” bourbon drink was very good.

That was the best and most tender Octopus I've ever eaten in my life and I've been to 5 different countries and around 15 states so I've eaten it a few times. It was the best and a fraction of the cost of even back home in Oklahoma. In Tulsa, that meal would have ran $150 but my check was was a fraction of that. You should try it.
