Thanksgiving dinner was fantastic and so was the service. We had the Prix Fixe turkey dinner with all the fixings and everything tasted homemade (house made?) and was perfectly prepared. Our server, Nick, was attentive and had a great attitude.

Reservation is as easy and there was no wait, ambience was perfect, food was great and service was excellent. Three of us had the prime rib (very tasty and cooked to perfection), one had the mahi mahi and loved it, and the other one had a vegan dish and very happy with it. We shared the calamari and Brussels sprouts and had the hula pie, peanut butter torte, pumpkin pie - all excellent. Thank you for staying open for Thanksgiving.

The service was impeccable, and the ambiance made the evening unforgettable. Highly recommend for any special occasion!
