Chicken was not moist, kind of on the dry-ish side. I go there for breakfast and lunch, totally love. It was my first time for dinner. It was our anniversary. Our server could have told us that we were getting a glass of champagne. If I would have known, I would not have ordered the wine thus we left a 15% tip instead of what we normally leave 20%.

We came over to check in about 15 mins before our reservations and we were seared immediately. Everyone was so friendly and polite. The place was decorated beautifully. We love the fairies that come around to the table no matter how old you are. They were so sweet and make the experience even more enjoyable. Our waiter was wonderful so attentive, never having to look for him, always refilling our glasses and providing prompt and friendly service. Food came out quick and was very good. We never felt rushed. We were able to go by the tree and take pictures. It was just a fabulous time. We had our first experience there last year and now we’ve made this an annual tradition. We look forward to many more years to come.
