    Excellent service, and the food was prepared perfectly. We appreciated the 4:30 opening, instead of 5 pm, because we like to have dinner early. We plan on making a Larsen’s dinner our Christmas tradition from now on. What I DO NOT appreciate is all the “verification” it took from Open Table to know that i am who I say I am. Really—phone number, email, and pass codes to BOTH? Ridiculous!! My financial institutions do not have so many verification steps.

    A magical Christmas experience! Service was outstanding and the food was delicious. Every single thing we ate tasted fresh and homemade, which is unheard of these days. And everyone was so kind to us. As first time parents with our four month old in tow, it meant the world!
