We ordered the firecracker shrimp and calamari appetizers. Very good. For dinner my son and daughter both had the filet mignon, my husband had the rack of lamb and I had the pork chops. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend!

Went there on New Years Eve for early dinner. Place was beautifully decorated. 2 very noisy groups made it hard to talk at times, but once they left, it was pretty quiet. Food was excellent. Service was OK. We seemed to have to wait a bit for courses, drinks, etc. Not sure where the issue was but, on a whole, we had a nice time & I would def go back there again.

The atmosphere was so nicely decorated for the Christmas season . It was warm and inviting . The food was good. Our service was excellent! The seating is tight! Would benefit if they removed 2 tables but then not benefiting financially.
