    Server was great! Was disappointed that we were sat in a drafty cold corner when I booked way in advance and asked several times to be seated near the fireplace or at least in the main dining room. The food was good but took an hour to get. Portions were quite small.

    The food and service was great. The room was at least 10 degrees cooler than optimal. Several guests had to wear coats.

    All four us agreed, this was one of the best dinners we’ve had in a very long time. And our server was the best.

    I went for dinner with my co-worker for our company Christmas party on a Thursday night. We requested to sit by the fireplace in our reservation that was made well in advance. They were not able to accommodate our request. After the waitress took our order she was not to be seen for a very long time. We had to get help from another server. The very pricy ribeye lacked flavor and the asparagus was burnt. My cocktail was also the worst I have ever had. Not worth the price in my opinion compared to other restaurants.

    We were celebrating my husbands birthday and requested a table near the fireplace, as it is a very cozy spot. They accommodated our wish and it was the perfect spot. The hostess was very pleasant and our server Daniel was excellent. Overall a very nice evening. The dining room is rustic but yet elegant and cozy. Food is good. We are repeat customers and will continue to celebrate special occasions there and recommend to others.
