The atmosphere and service were exceptional. It’s not inexpensive but the holiday season couldn’t be better represented.

I had been trying to make a reservation since last Christmas and was only able to do so after many attempts. Our reservation was for 5:30 PM, but we had to wait over 30 minutes for our table. The drinks arrived late, much after the appetizers. Although the server was friendly, there were mistakes with the delivery of the dishes. While the service overall was good, it did not meet the expectations set when making the reservation.

We went for the Holiday Pop Up and they did not disappoint! It was beautifully decorated for the Holidays! The food & the service were terrific! My daughter has a food allergy and not only did the server make sure all was good with what we ordered but the manager came over as well which we appreciated so much! Food was delicious! Great experience all around!
