Wonderful Xmas Eve celebration Ambiance from lobby employs greetings to host & of course our wauter Thomas was extremely professional attentive & very personalized service. He even took his time helping us take family photo!! A heater was provided without question as some restaurants do not have enough heaters; we were thrilled as we would have had to leave as it was too cold on balcony without it & therefore everything was perfect, as usual. Delicious nachos, fried chicken & “Craft cocktails” were superior! Thank you & merry Christmas!!

Always enjoy this local gem. However, my friend ordered from the ala carte menu a 6 oz. petite filet mignon and although we expected shrinkage after cooking, it actually looked like a 3 oz. piece of meet. That was deceiving. I had the Hanger steak special and it was very good. Our other guests had the Vol u Vent and it was great!
