    Matthew was preoccupied with waiting on a massive party in room next door. He could even keep up with simple water requests and did not get other staff to help him. Eaten at this location a dozen times however, will make sure that I don’t get Matthew as my waiter next visit,

    We celebrated our 12 anniversary after not having eaten here since 2020 due to having a few babies since then. We were so happy to be back to enjoy the ambiance, great service and amazing food. We were surprised by how casual it was as we were dressed up but there was a Kings game that evening so it made sense. We just love the dining room and the lighting and couldn't have been more satisfied with our dining experience.

    What a beautiful restaurant. I’m glad we sat out in the piazza, for the evening. It was beautiful, quaint and warm on a cold night. It was quite a bit louder inside the actual restaurant so we’re happy to have quieter dining. The food was outstanding and I can’t say enough about our waitress Whitney. She is probably the best waitress I’ve ever encountered. She doted on my Mother as we were there for her 75th birthday. She was funny, knowledgeable about the building, which is so interesting, and very attentive. You can not ask for a more darling and spectacular waitress. She is a gem and the restaurant is lucky to have her. I can’t wait to go back for another spectacular dining experience. We will probably be heading back as it gets closer to Christmas and possibly make it a new tradition.

    The food was good, ambience nice, and service was excellent. However the high prices for everything was a turn off. Now they don't even include the bread and you have to pay for it. I have been there many times but not sure I will return due to the prices.
