What a wonderful Thanksgiving feast! We all arrived much earlier (separately) than our reservation but were sat with a smile. The staff was attentive and kind, and the overall feeling of the space was lovely. The food was delicious. I had the carrot ginger soup, the stuffed mushrooms, turkey and pumpkin pie. My Italian uncle decided to order off their usual menu and got the seafood. He said the calamari was perfectly cooked, not at all rubbery which he said often happens when people over cook it. The cappuccino was so refreshing, topped with perfect foam. All in all an absolutely fantastic turkey day. Thank you. We will be sure to dine again.

Service was excellent. Very lovely place. My only complaint was the chicken Parmesan was a bit dry; it needed more sauce.
