It was a little loud and a little cold but the food was amazing! Best Thanksgiving dinner I’ve ever had! Next year, you should have pumpkin pie as a dessert option though.

Only negative for today was the terrible valet service. After waiting 15 minutes we decided to find a garage and park ourselves. Understandably it was a rainy day but cars were lined up down the street waiting to be parked or at least see a valet. Definitely not a good day for the valet attendants. Once inside our experience was amazing as always.

Thank you Janet, Please be assured that last night's valet service is under review and being addressed. So glad you had a good dinner with us. Nick Heilmann GM.

Food was very good and the service was friendly and excellent. Noise level was very loud, which I did not expect and found unpleasant.

We got the Thanksgiving dinner and it was superb. The breast meat was moist, the thigh was mixed in the stuffing and was deelish , mashed potato, squash, cranberry chutney was all great. My espresso martini was perfect. I would definitely eat here more often
