    So glad this place was open on Christmas day. They hosted a wonderful reunion for my family. Food is consistently very good, especially the steamed Maine lobster - nothing added, cooked perfectly.

    The staff work hard to assure everyone has a good time. During the most recent visit they were working with minimal staff as many were already tracking for the Christmas holiday. These guys busted their tails to make sure everyone in the house were waited in and set up. We wanted for nothing at any moment.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my evening here. The food was tasty and the ambience was great. Also the best aperol spritz I've had yet! More than anything though was the superior service from the staff. They were very attentive and professional. They were excellent and made the experience even more enjoyable. Hospitality is everything!

    The food is always delicious. This is the second or third visit, though, with slow service from the bar. For such a large seating area, they may need to invest in more bar staff.
