    Had a great Thanksgiving dinner here. Turkey wasn’t dry and the sides were actually really delicious. Was quite busy as expected but staff was nice and attentive, esp with my party of 8. Decent value at $30/person for 3 course meal.

    Thanksgiving dinner was very good, but restaurant had no record of my reservation. Sat at the bar which wasn’t what I preferred.

    When arrived they did not have me on their reservations. I was on time for for my confirmed time slot reservation. Very disappointed. I waited between them seating reservations and walk-ins intermittently. For some reason the time I picked was the busiest time, the lobby was stuffed with people waiting.

    The place was empty and yet the service was very slow. My turkey dinner was so salty, I could not eat it. I won’t be going back any time soon.

    Great place to take the family for dinner. Even though it was Mother's Day they were able to seat us quickly and get our food out to us in a timely manner. Only problems we had was our potato skins appetizer and waffle wasn't all the way done. It happens sometimes when a restaurant is super crowded, but they did give us something else in place of it.
