    The cocktails were excellent-and the mock tails were pleasantly refreshing. We had the bone marrow and steak tartare appetizers and both had phenomenal flavor. The steaks were cooked perfectly, and while they did not need the sauces, they definitely added to the flavor. We had the mashed potatoes, creamed spinach and macaroni and cheese and all was excellent. Highly recommend the spinach if you want a lighter side, but the macaroni and cheese was also really really good. We also had the sticky toffee sundae and what a decadent treat!! Service was perfection, ambiance could not be more perfect and we can’t wait to come back again.

    Lex our server was fabulous from start to finish! He explained the starters and entrees beautifully. We got the braised short ribs which were flavorful and tender just as described. It was our first time, from the host warmly greeting us while they gave the kids a stuffie each. The girls ordered from the kids menu which gave them a beautiful mug to take home! The fairy that went our granting wishes was truly magical! And to top it all off they took complimentary family photo to remember the outing. Definitely will be back and start a new family Christmas tradition! Thank you again Lex and staff for making it a very special and memorable evening!
