    Amazing! Excellent food and service. Both Wife and I had Beef Wellington enhanced with scallops, I had Lobster Bisque and wife had Onion Soup for appetizers. We both had Orange Vanilla crème Brûlée for dessert. For drinks I had a smoky old fashioned and wife had a red sangria. Everything was delicious!

    Everything was delicious and the service was impeccable! We got the specials, a grass-fed, grass-finished ribeye and a cod & lobster dish. The clam chowder is tasty. The side portions are plentiful; we got the truffle mac & cheese and the brussel sprouts. Was way too full to try desserts 😬.

    We had a lovely Christmas Eve lunch. Our server was great, the food was delicious, and the ambience was on point. We enjoyed seeing the staff in the spirit despite working. They seemed to genuinely appreciate their team.
