    Tim, our very wonderful server, is clearly and seasoned, professional server. He and his staff knew when to be present and when to leave us alone. No rush felt. We ate in the outdoor 'tent' during a good rainstorm which was wonderful. Plenty of heaters, very warm and dry and the sound of rain over the sound of diners was perfect for the holidays. The food and drinks were outstanding and all the staff we engaged were professional, warm and friendly. We will definitely be back!
