Consistently an excellent restaurant. The ambiance is wonderful, especially during the holidays. The food is excellent, however, the daily special halibut, was a disappointment- quite dry.

We took my cousin out to thank him for his help with a family matter, so this was a special occasion. The staff was friendly and professional. The food was delicious - steak and fish prepared to perfection. Festively decorated for the holidays. An enjoyable experience all around!

Our server, Holly, was personable and made constructive suggestions for alcoholic beverages. Her team worked in tandem with Holly. Our food selections were delicious. Also the espresso martini was creamy and delicious. Scallops with lobster mashed potatoes and spinach, Bolognese pasta with a pear, blue cheese and candied pecan salad was delicious. Crab cake appetizer should have been served warm, but still delicious. Warm, ambient lighting in a full restaurant where we could barely hear the guests at the next table. Plus a private room for a large party that was totally sound proof. Enjoyed the music genre of James Taylor and Carol King

Exceptional experience as always. Our favorite restaurant to go to. All around the place to go not only for a great meal, but also to bring friends to enjoy a good conversation and great drinks while receiving excellent service and not rushing you to get the next customer seated.
