    Sea bass, with cilantro,pesto risotto, carrots and mashed potatoes. It was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. A bottle of wine, beautifully decorated restaurant. Prompt and quiet service. Fifth or sixth trip here. We will be back.

    Excellent food and ambiance. Braised short rib was delicious and flavorful (very filling). Tortellini was tasty. We also had the tuna and crispy rice very good as an appetizer (small portion). Cocktails were amazing as well! Spicy pineapple margarita, whiskeys and donuts, espresso martini, nana’s midnight ritual, whiskey shot all highly recommended. Mimi, our server was extremely helpful and attentive.

    The ambience in the restaurant was amazing. The service we received from start to finish was great. Our server was Christopher and manager was Brazil and they went above and beyond to ensure that my mom and I had a wonderful experience. They suggested entrée and drink items that did not miss. My mom had the salmon with curry and rice. She really enjoyed it. I had the crab fried rice, which was extremely flavorful. The drinks were great. I will definitely be visiting again soon with family and friends. The location was good. We’re able to park and get in and out quickly

    The food was great, everything tasted spot on. But very expensive for a prix fixe 3 course meal. However, the Chef was willing to switch out the cooked carrots for the broccolini that was served with the fish. We were not offered a drink/wine menu. So when asked if we wanted something other than water I just went to a go to Sauv blanc. Then was asked NZ or California. No clue pricing, no clue brand, no clue other options. Also had to ask for bread this year when that was always a staple at the table. That being said, We have been coming here on Xmas Eve for the last 4-5 years (minus last year closed) so we were little disappoint to see you switched over to prix fixed menu it was not advertised when I made the reservation a month or so prior. Being able to order off the menu was the draw for us picking MCH over other steak houses in the area. It’s a special holiday we want to be able to indulge and enjoy the things we don’t typically treat ourselves and family to. Also no valet service this year. Not a huge deal, but it is a nice option when again, you’re dressed up, wearing heels etc for a special occasion and don’t have to scurry across the parking lot in the cold and this year spitting rain.
